May Music Month 2026 TWk_0ddjowai.jpg

Join us for a vibrant, interactive performance celebrating Māori music and movement as part of NZ Music Month.

Led by Te Whare Karioi, from the heart of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, each performer descends from the eponymous ancestor, Tuperiri.

These free hour-long sessions will showcase taonga pūkaea, pūtatara, taiaha, poi & haka, with opportunities to participate and learn about the cultural significance behind each art form.

This free, whānau-friendly event invites you to connect with Tāmaki Makaurau’s rich whakapapa through live performance and hands-on experiences.

Feel the pulse of the haka, hear the call of ancient instruments and move to the rhythm of poi.
