Event Details
This gorgeous, rejuvenating evening of eight world premieres celebrates the vital conservation work of Forest & Bird, reminding us all of the precious beauty of our whenua, moana, flora and fauna.
Founded in 1923 by war veteran Ernest ‘Val’ Sanderson after a campaign to restore Kāpiti Island and honour its status as a nature reserve, Forest & Bird has played a crucial role in preserving New Zealand’s wildlife and wild places.
Collaborating in concert to salute the mahi of its members and supporters, composers and performers including NZTrio, Peter Scholes, Bridget Douglas, Rob Thorne and Yoshiko Tsuruta bring their command of acoustic chamber instruments to the fore.
Featuring atmospheric visual design capturing unique environments and native species, both on land and in the sea, this stirring one-off performance is inspired by – and aspires to the future of – the Aotearoa way of life.
Proudly supported by Forest & Bird

Event Details
Travelling in invisible waves that transform how we experience the world, light has fascinated artists for centuries. In this exciting event, be amazed as waves of sound create an original painting before your eyes. As NZTrio perform a new commission from accomplished New Zealand composer Alex Taylor, EEG (electroencephalogram) headsets will capture their brainwaves as they respond to music stimuli. This data is then expressed in a painting that is created in real time. Developed by contemporary artist Simon Ingram, this incredible music-to-painting digital technology visualises the visceral unseen forces shaping our experiences of art and life.
Simon Ingram is a New Zealand-based artist whose work creates a dialogue between art and technology, reinventing painting as a contemporary practice for the digital age. It is situated as a collaboration between artist, apparatus, and our life world. His practice exists in multiple dimensions: from machines that paint radio waves from space or the brain waves of people, to synthetic images made by artificial intelligence networks. He teaches at Elam School of Fine Art at The University of Auckland.
Tickets
This event is part of Auckland Art Gallery’s Pay-what-you-can pricing trial, which means you can choose to pay $10, $20 or $30 (plus fees) for your ticket. Any contribution is appreciated and will support the Gallery, including exhibition development, education, conservation, and programming. There will be a paid bar and Q&A to follow.

Homeland 2 begins in Romania with Enescu’s luscious A minor trio, one of the very few works he composed during WWII and a strong witness to his fascination with the countryside and folk music of his homeland. Then, Chen Yi transports us half a world away to her upbringing in China with musical stories filled with bustling energies and happy memories, before the warmness of a serenade composed by a young Enescu melts our hearts. Victoria Kelly’s gently rhythmic and mystical sound world brings us back home to Aotearoa before our final stop in Prague, where a 42-year old Dvořák takes us into the depths of Czech folk music traditions and into the dark and brooding romanticism of his F minor piano trio.
