Seven programmes. Four locations. One journey. 

Join us for an intimate exploration of lines as boundaries and bridges within the grandeur of the Southern Alps of Aotearoa New Zealand. With internationally renowned artists standing side-by-side with Aotearoa's finest musicians, the programme is further enriched by a range of free events and performances. 


Unbroken explores the spaces where histories, identities, and musical lines cross, transform and endure. From a New Zealand soldier carrying his violin through the First World War to a string trio composed at the edge of annihilation, the programme traces the fragile yet unbreakable thread of music as it transcends centuries, borders, and the darkest moments of human experience.
