The Cambridge Town Hall Community Trust is honoured to present 'Muriwai' in partnership with Chamber Music New Zealand.
Award-winning collaborators Ariana Tikao (Kāi Tahu) and Bob Bickerton blend taonga puoro (traditional Māori instruments) with vocals and Celtic harp to create a unique, lyrical story related to water and issues of climate change.
The name ‘Muriwai’ refers to a confluence of two rivers – as Tikao and Bickerton’s ethereal composition is a convergence of Māori and Celtic musical traditions.
This major new work journeys through time and place, beginning with a Kāi Tahu creation story linked to water, through to the arrival of people in Te Waipounamu the South Island, our impact on the environment, and imagined consequences of our actions.
