GARETH FARR: He Poroporoaki

Gareth Farr’s ‘He Poroporoaki (A Farewell)’ is a deconstruction of ‘Now is the Hour’ (Po Atarau), a song forever associated with the emotions of saying goodbye.
It was premiered by Richard Nunns, Gareth Farr and local string players at ANZAC Cove on 25 April 2008.
Here, we see the New Zealand String Quartet at Rob Thorne perform the work at New Zealand Festival’s “Te Ao Hou | This New World” concert.
