Welcome to Tauranga Primary Schools Music Festival
The Tauranga Primary Schools' Music Festival are excited to announce the dates for this year's 66th Festival. 4 - 8 September 2023 held at Baycourt's Addison Theatre. We welcome Jeremy Hantler to the stage as co-director with Carol Storey who has been directing the Festival for the past 20+ years. Andrea Pooley will be delighting us all with her masterful piano playing leading the band of musicians including Jeff Baker on drums. This year's theme for the festival will take us down memory lane with the songs from Jim Henson's Muppet creation featuring songs from the Muppet Television Show and Muppet Movies. There will be Muppet surprises in Baycourt theatre for the audience and children.
Kia kotahi mai ki te ao nei.
Kia kotahi mai ki te whenua nei
Kia kotahi mai ki te wai rere nei
Kia kotahi mai ki te hauora
Kia kotahi mai ki te waiata
Kia kotahi mai, nga iwi katoa
Be at one with this world
Be at one with this land
Flow as one with the water
Breathe as one with the wind
Be as one in song
Be as one together
Composed by Hirini Melbourne.
