A legacy of music and connection
The concert presents the New Zealand public an opportunity to see the newly restored architectural jewel, Kāhui St David in Auckland, with superb acoustics, soaring lead-light windows and lush red carpet.
Designed as a living memorial to World War One, with global tensions escalating, this place of peace is an ideal venue for cross-generational collaboration.
