New commission for the 2010 ERUPT Lake Taupo Festival

The ERUPT Lake Taupo Festival and I were very lucky to be one of the two recipients of the 2010 SOUNZ Community Commission. This new piece will be premiered at the 2010 festival and will involve several groups from Taupo’s rich cultural community. I will travel to Taupo in September to meet the people and groups and then the work begins!

The new work for Opononi begins & Creative NZ to support

Hey everyone. Well great news … Creative NZ will be funding the new work being written for the Opononi Summer School. The work … of course … was going to be written anyway, but it is FANTASTIC to get support for doing so.

So the work begins. I have been playing with ideas for some time now, but in the next week or so it’ll get well underway. I will post progress updates here from time to time so pop in every now and then. Use the link here to go straight to posts exclusively on Opononi. There is also a page with general info on the project here.
