In 2019 Waiata Anthems debuted at No.1 in the NZ Music Charts – the first 100% reo Māori album to do so – and spent 16 weeks in the NZ Top 40.

Experience the original songs from this iconic multi award-winning album, as Auckland Philharmonia and the next generation of up-and-coming young Waiata Anthems artists pay tribute to the album that helped start a movement. 

These talented rising stars will perform songs, reimagined for orchestra, such as Tami Neilson’s ‘Roimata | Cry Myself to Sleep’, Stan Walker’s ‘Tēnā Rā Koe | Thank You’, Drax Project’s ‘I Moeroa | Woke Up Late’ and many others.

Join us for this unique concert collaboration as we come together to celebrate Matariki and honour waiata reo Māori.

Presented by Auckland Philharmonia in association with  Waiata Anthems & Kāpiti Ice Cream
