Tautua Live Trust Presents: Timeless Duets – Volume 1

Founded by Pacific cultural leaders Pale Sauni, Tutasi Lam, and Saylene Tanielu-Ulberg, Tautua Live Trust exists to serve its musical whānau and community through meaningful, emotionally rich performance experiences. Their debut signature production, Timeless Duets – Volume 1, is more than a concert – it is a space for connection, reflection, and shared storytelling through music.

Timeless Duets is not just performance. It uses music to model what real relationships look like – not only romance in its perfect form, but love in its fullness: joyful, complicated, tender, broken, healing, and resilient. Through carefully chosen duets, the production reflects the emotional language of partnership, friendship, longing, forgiveness, and commitment – giving audiences space to recognise themselves and their own stories.

In a world where relationships are often reduced to surface-level images, Timeless Duets re-centres depth and honesty. It creates shared dialogue for those in relationships, those navigating challenges, and those preparing for love. Through music, audiences are invited into reflection, conversation, and emotional literacy – reminding us that connection is something to be nurtured, understood, and honoured.

A ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION GATHERING OF VOICES

Timeless Duets – Volume 1 brings together some of Aotearoa’s most revered performers: Annie Crummer, Betty-Anne Hall, Taisha Tari, Roslynn Clay, Thomas Stowers, Hawkins, Leon Wharekura, and Te Reo Lepou. This collective represents a level of vocal excellence and star power rarely seen together on one stage. Supported by Tautua Live’s in-house band of virtuoso musicians and exceptional backing vocalists, the production delivers world-class musical storytelling grounded in unity, artistry, and mana.

Individually incredible. Collectively phenomenal. -Curated duets transport audiences back to the golden era of Love Songs Till Midnight, Solid Gold, and timeless radio classics – re-awakening nostalgia while honouring adult relationships in all their beauty, vulnerability, and complexity. Timeless Duets – Volume 1 is the first in a planned series of productions to come.
