Glen Downie has curated an epic afternoon of musical adventures in and around the wild landscape of the Wairarapa south coast. The event starts at 2pm @ Putangirua Pinnacles (near Ngāwī), and is followed at 3.30pm with an electronic work @ Cape Palliser Lighthouse.

Ngāwī is about a 2 hour drive or a solid day's cycle ride from Wellington. You could also catch a train to Featherston and ride to the coast from there.

2pm @ Putangirua Pinnacles (near Ngāwī), new work by Callum Mallett for alto saxophone, viola, and trumpet.

3.30 @ Cape Palliser Lighthouse, new electronic work by Jesse Austin-Stewart.

Rain day Sunday 6 September.
