About the documentary

This illustrated talk by University of Auckland Senior Lecturer Dr Leonie Holmes focuses on the cross-cultural composition of New Zealand composers Michael Norris, Victoria Kelly, Jack Body and me. She analyses how we have collaborated with performers to respect the differing historical, cultural and spiritual significance of using instruments from other cultures.

Amongst other works, Leonie examines Puhake ki te rangi.
