Kia ora,
If you're here, that means you're interested or ready to join our global whānau (family). Welcome!
Ethno New Zealand 2023 will be the 5th edition of Ethno held in Aotearoa. It is open to all musicians aged between 18 - 30.
This year, Ethno New Zealand will be held on Piritahi Marae on Waiheke Island. It will be a week of young musicians teaching each other their traditional music, sharing cultural experiences and taking part in workshops.
A Marae (Māori meeting place) provides the perfect foundations for a pacific Ethno experience. This is a unique experience that will give you a deeper understanding of our indigenous peoples of New Zealand and our many other cultures that reside here in Aotearoa (the land of the long white cloud) all while creating musical magic. The week will culminate in a number of performances, one of them at the iconic Auckland Folk Festival.
We can't wait to meet you. Join us!
