This Matariki, we gather beneath the rising stars to honour remembrance, renewal, and connection, and to celebrate a cultural renaissance grounded in te ao Māori.
Join us for a powerful evening of music, storytelling, and reflection as some of Aotearoa’s most compelling voices come together under one sky. Headlined by Stan Walker, with performances from Maisey Rika and Troy Kingi, this special concert weaves sound, soul, and whakapapa into a shared Matariki experience.
Guided by a keynote speaker Dr Rangi Mātāmua, the evening invites us to look upward, remember those who have gone before us, celebrate the present, and step forward with renewed identity, language, and connection.
Ngā Reo o te Rangi — Voices of the Stars is more than a concert. It is a gathering of voices and wairua, reflecting resurgence, renewal, and the enduring light of our peoples.
Come together. Look upward. Listen deeply.
