About the documentary

Established in 1970, the Mozart Fellowship at Otago University is New Zealand’s longest running composer-in-residence programme with 31 composers having enjoyed the privilege of spending time in Dunedin with nothing expected of them except to devote themselves to their art.

William Dart explores the history and the music. Excerpts of my work Awa Herea are included.
