Join us on Anzac Day for a stirring musical experience with Orpheus Choir Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand’s premier symphonic choir.

Experience a special presentation featuring excerpts from Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man and excerpts from E Kiwi E, a heartfelt tribute by Takerei Komene, honoring the Māori Battalion.

The Armed Man takes listeners on a poignant journey that explores the horrors of war and the fervent desire for peace. The composition reflects on the destructive nature of conflict while also emphasizing the universal longing for reconciliation and harmony.

A large choir is assembled on a stage. There are musicians and promenant singers in front of them.
