Mana Moana is a celebration of two worlds of music, with the 80 strong Signature Choir joining the NZSO in a fusion of symphony and songs of the Pacific. After 2023’s sensational performance at Spark Arena, this energetic, unique, and emotional celebration returns, bringing traditional and contemporary songs from Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Cook Islands, Niue and Tokelau to Auckland for this special community event.
The exciting music selection for Mana Moana 2025 blends beloved favorites from our previous show with fresh new arrangements, offering an even richer experience for audiences. Expect a stunning mix of traditional and contemporary songs, including the Samoan classic Manu o le Vaveao, Nepituno—written by Queen Salote Tupou III to commemorate the 1953 Royal Tour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s visit to Tonga—an exhilarating medley featuring some of the most iconic Fijian songs, and much more.
In 2022 a collaborative journey between the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra Te Tira Pūoro o Aotearoa (NZSO), and Signature Choir begun to celebrate and promote the languages and stories of Pasifika. Their aim was to create high-quality audio recordings and videos of Pasifika songs in partnership with RNZ.
