Pride2020 - In the Vault with Pere Wihongi

In The Vault is excited to be supporting Pride2020! A chill vibe to close the week with some of Aotearoa’s finest Rainbow community talent. Pere Wihongi, Valkyrie and Callan James share their music and their journeys.

Join us to celebrate Pride2020 and our Pūkana: Moments in Māori Performance exhibition.

The In the Vault series born in 2019 presents new and classic music from Aotearoa, supporting young and upcoming and reliving some of the old school sounds.

Our very special PRide2020 lineup has all the colours of the rainbow with Pere Wihongi who blends old school Māori soul with a New Orleans jazz vibe, Valkyrie’s big power anthems and ‘sounds inspired by the ancients’ and Pōneke singer/songwriter Callan James.

Refreshments will be available.

Pere Wihongi (Te Rarawa/Ngā Puhi/Ngāti Kuri/Ngāti Wai) is founding member and co-manager of Māoridom’s current singing sensation ‘Maimoa’.

Valkyrie, New Zealand’s first anthemic theatrical band exploded on to the stage with big power anthems and sounds inspired by the ancients. Described as Pop/Rock or Dark Pop their style is daring, bold and visually pushes boundaries. However they've never been short of capturing the audience’s hearts with their more beautiful slower songs and acoustic performances

Callan James is a singer-songwriter from Porirua whose unique R&B and soul will captivate you.
