English (Māori version below):

This will be my second performance at the Whakatipu Music Festival. I’ll be giving a thirty minute solo recital with Stephen De Pledge (piano/harpsichord). This recital is designed as a mihi/acknowledgment to the Whakatipu Basin and to its kōrero tīpuna, or ancestral stories. This is a part of the world where I was lucky to spend so much of my young life and so this is a deeply personal performance for me. The recital acknowledges the roto (lakes), pakihi (basin flats), ara tawhito (ancestral pathways), and its kāinga (homeliness). Stephen and I will be performing a mix of baroque arias, nineteenth-century art song, and some early Māori waiata (songs).

(Reo Māori):

Ko tēnei taku tūnga tuarua kei te hui ahurei puoro o Whakatipu. Ka tū au mō tētahi konohete takitahi, e toru tekau ngā meneti, kei te taha o Stephen De Pledge (kaiwhakatangi piana). I hangā tēnei konohete hei mihi ki te rohe o Whakatipu me ōna kōrero tūpuna. Nōku te tino waimarire, nō te mea ko tēnei tōpito o te ao he wāhi i noho ai au, i tupu ai au mō te wā roa i taku ohinga, heoi, he mea tata tēnei ki taku ngākau. He mihi te konohete nei ki ngā roto, ngā pakihi, ngā ara tawhito me ngā kāinga o Whakatipu Wai Māori me te rohe e takoto mai rā. Ka hāpaitia e māua ko Stephen he tino ranunga o ngā āria baroque, ngā “lieder” (waiata ōkawa) o te rautau tekau-mā-iwa, me ētahi taonga nō te oroko tupunga mai o te waiata ā-ringa
