About
Music knows no boundaries. It transcends language, culture, and borders, weaving its way into the very fabric of our existence.Location
Christchurch Irish Society Hall
29 Domain Terrace, Spreydon, Christchurch 8024
Mother's have sung lullabies to their children cradled in their arms in every culture, songs and dance have marked commemorative passages of life throughout the world, the sharing of music is universal and a tradition for the majority of us all.
On this special week to mark unity, we honor the diverse sounds and rhythms that form the tapestry of world music, connecting people across the globe in a harmonious symphony of unity here in Otautahi and Aotearoa. https://www.unityweek.co.nz/
We offer a small taste of some of the diverse groups that gather to continue their musical traditions here in Christchurch. It is an honour to have these groups so willingly share their heritage with us, so we can both appreciate and learn from their traditions, and pave the way for a better understanding with the hope of gaining a sense of unity, awareness and respect.
There will be local talent sharing their heritage with you, creating a special atmosphere for a variety of performers sharing their traditional taonga including Isabella Miller Bell, Gary Elford, Wim Bevers & Peter Vink, Salvation Army Kapa Haka Roopu, Eileen Reid, Women in Harmony, Judi Smitheram plus more who will be offering you a wide and diverse array of diversity that reflect the collaborations we experience in our community.
