Taonga Puoro

Horomona Horo (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Porou, Taranaki), one of Aotearoa’s best known taonga pūoro practitioners, is now an Arts Laureate.

Music Education New Zealand Aotearoa chair Ben Lau is running free NCEA workshops delving into taonga puoro and its history.

A collaboration between the university and Ngāti Whātua has resulted in an almost exact replica of Māori instruments.

Music artist Kirsten Te Rito is using the long-running festival to showcase Māori instruments with the jazz world.
