Callum Allardice's Cinematic Light Orchestra

Fresh new compositions from two-time New Zealand Jazz Award winning composer and Te Kōki - Herenga Waka composer in residence, Callum Allardice. Melding the sounds of film music, pop and rock, with contemporary jazz and improvised music, Callum uses song-like melodies over lush harmony and complex rhythm to create his own distinctive sound.

In 2017 Callum worked with Korean traditional/fusion group Black String, performing commissions at the Wellington Opera House as one of the 2017 Wellington Jazz Festival headline acts. The ensemble went on to perform at the Bukchon Traditional Music Festival and Jarasum International Jazz Festival in Korea.
