Illuminate Matariki Free Shows

Illuminate Matariki Free Shows

Illuminate Matariki will see some of the country’s finest piano-based musicians performing a series of innovative twilight concerts held at special locations around Tāmaki Makaurau, all free to the public. Organisers suggest that audiences rug up, bring chairs, snacks and hot drinks – and get set for a spectacular visual and musical feast.

Technology at each Illuminate Matariki event will enable the piano notes to trigger a captivating light show unique to each song. The shows begin with a performance by Tereora – bringing waiata and kōrero about Te Whānau Marama (Family of Light), and the magic of Matariki / the Māori New Year.
