Name: Westlake Music Benefit Concert
Start: 2026-03-05T09:00:00+13:00
Location: Westlake Boys High School

Join us for an extraordinary evening of music as we launch our most ambitious instrumental project in over a decade. This April, 87 Westlake students from the premiere instrumental ensembles are embarking on a two-week cultural and performance tour across Beijing, Xi’an, and Shanghai. We are excited to offer this opportunity to our students, demonstrating that music has the capacity to build bridges across diverse cultures and countries.
By attending this concert, you will directly support the musicians of Westlake Symphony Orchestra, Chamber Orchestra, Concert Band, and Big Band. These ensembles have an established reputation representing Aotearoa New Zealand with national and international distinction. Now, they have the chance to share their artistry with schools and audiences across China. Every ticket purchased goes directly towards the cost of the tour – either to an individual student or to the general fundraising account.
During the evening, we also invite you to participate in our Silent Auction. Our local community businesses have been incredibly generous, donating a fantastic range of products and experiences that will be auctioned off throughout the event. Whether you're looking for a gift for others or a treat for yourself, every winning bid contributes to our tour fundraising. If you are in a position to donate a gift for the Silent Auction, please contact Kasey Hani Lui (WGHS Performing Arts Administrator) via [email protected]
We warmly invite you to come and support our next generation of fabulous Westlake musicians!
