Description

Kia ora and WELCOME TO ETHNO NEW ZEALAND 2024, January 19-28! Ethno New Zealand 2024 will be the the 6th edition of Ethno held in Aotearoa. It is open to all musicians age between 18-30. Ethno New Zealand will take place on Piritahi Marae on Waiheke Island. 9 days of young adult musicians from Aotearoa and visiting international participants teaching each other their traditional music, sharing cultural experiences, taking part in workshops, collaborating and as a grand finale sharing their music through performances for the wider audience. ​A Marae provides the perfect foundations for a pacific Ethno experience. This is a unique experience that will give you a deeper understanding of our indigenous peoples of New Zealand and our many other cultures that reside here in Aotearoa all while creating musical magic. The week will culminate in a number of performances, one of them at iconic Auckland Folk Festival. All participants are expected to attend the pōwhiri at Piritahi Marae on Waiheke Island on the 19th of January. Participants will need to arrive on Waiheke Island by 1pm on the day in order to attend the pōwhiri. Participants are expected to attend the full camp which will end early afternoon January 28th at Auckland Folk Festival in Kumeu, West Auckland. Spaces are limited, so sign up today!
