Ngā Reo o te Rangi: Voices of the Stars is a new Matariki Festival event at Auckland Town Hall, bringing people together for an evening of reflection, connection and celebration!
Blending waiata, mātauranga Māori, kapa haka and storytelling, the event honours te Mātahi o te Tau, the Māori New Year - featuring headline performances from Stan Walker, alongside Troy Kingi, Maisey Rika and kapa haka group Te Rōpū Manutaki.
Matariki expert Professor Rangi Mātāmua will also be hosting a live Q&A exploring the meaning and significance of the star cluster and the season.
Presented by Ngāti Tamaoho with Auckland Council Events, the Matariki festival returns for its third year with iwi manaaki guiding the celebrations.
