ILLUMINATE sees some of Auckland’s finest piano-based musicians perform at their favourite outdoor locations, with a series of innovative twilight concerts free to the public.Performing at Pah Homestead is Jan Hellriegel - whose most recent album has garnered much acclaim.
Hellriegel’s debut solo album in 1992 included chart-topper The Way I Feel and It’s My Sin, the first steps in an inspiring career, which has seen her share stages with the likes of David Byrne, The Cure, Jeff Buckley, to name a few.
ILLUMINATE harnesses digital technology enabling the notes of the piano to trigger a captivating light show unique to each song.
Each evening begins with a performance by Tereora – bringing waiata (songs) and kōrero about Te Whānau Marama (Family of Light), and the magic of Matariki/ The Māori New Year.
Tereora’s work focuses on themes of Maumahara (rememberance) and celebration in Aotearoa, that the rising of the Matariki leads us into. “Mānawatia a Matariki – we welcome Matariki!”
