Wellington Hums

A WELLINGTON SOUND CELEBRATION FOR THE COMMUNITY

International award winning, musician, poet, and musical director Mike McKeon, invites all Wellingtonians to join him in his new project, Wellington Hums.

Mike’s belief is that every built environment hums with its own distinct note. It is the background sound a city creates, like a giant wood, glass, and concrete wind chime. The city channels, fashions and focuses the air into a single sound.

He has been collecting and composing the hums received from the Wellington Community and has crafted this musical composition into a visually and aurally stimulating piece of performnce.

Incorporating live music, choral singing, dance, and spoken word, this Love Letter to Te Whanganui-a-Tara will be an experience like no other. Audience members who watch the show will be invited to create whilst watching- e.g. draw, paint, weave, knit or write. This a unique work, that aims to celebrate this vibrant and culturally diverse city.

So come, get involved in this celebration of what makes Te Whanganui-a-Tara so wonderful.
