Music Alive

with Clarissa Dunn

Muriwai - a Chamber Music New Zealand concert featuring long-time collaborators Ariana Tikao and Bob Bickerton.

Muriwai is a journey through time and place, inspired by a Kāi Tahu creation story tracing the arrival of people in Te Waipounamu, our impact on the environment, and the imagined consequences of our actions.
