David Mason, NYO’s 2022 Composer-in-Residence, draws on both his Māori heritage and his classical music training for Wāhi Ngaro.
By integrating the style and colour of traditional Māori music with the vast malleable sonic capabilities of the orchestra, I aim to develop a wholly Māori orchestral sound.
