About
The Piano officially opened in September 2016. Its copper-clad curves and architectural details are inspired by the shapes of a grand piano, giving our premise a musical theme which is also reflected in our name.
Our Te Reo Maori is Pīpīwharauroa: Kui-kui whitiwhiti ora. Pīpīwharauroa means “the shining cuckoo”, which is a bird of significance for Ngāi Tūāhuriri. Not only are pīpīwharauroa known as singers, entertainers and conveyors of messages, they’re also viewed as a sign of spring and new beginnings.
Audiences enjoy high quality sound throughout the auditorium whether orchestral, pop or intimate virtuoso performances.
Accessibility
The Piano provides easy wheelchair ramp access to all event areas and there are three dedicated wheelchair positions in the auditorium.
