Music of Maoris

By Hollie Harris

As part of The Horizon Festival, the award-winning Modern Maori Quartet invites you to enjoy a fresh take on the classic Maori show band.
Their signature cabaret-style show ’An Evening with the Modern Maori Quartet’ is a celebration of humour and heavenly harmonies putting their stamp on Kiwi classics and some of today’s biggest hits right here in Eumundi.
Maaka Pohatu, Francis Kora, Matu Ngaropo and Jamie McCaskill mix old-school charm with modern quirk, spiced with Maori culture for an unforgettable evening of waiata (song), stories and fun.
A fresh take on classic Maori showbands, the Modern Maori Quartet (MMQ) are a good-looking, suave and multi-talented Maori foursome who love crooning their spin on modern and classic numbers.
Suit ’em up in their number ones, comb their hair, shine their shoes, hand them a guitar or two and they’ll have you melting like golden syrup on a piece of fresh hot fried bread!
Horizon Festival connects, disrupts and delights through arts, culture and creativity.
Over 10 arts-fuelled days across the Sunshine Coast, Horizon collaborates to deliver more than 200 events in visual art, film, literature, performance, street art, comedy, music, theatre and new media.
As the signature multi-arts festival for the region, Horizon’s curated program of events celebrates local artists alongside Australian and international guests, building the capacity of local creative talent and exposing the audience to unique arts experiences.
Join in the fun at the Kira Ora Club – at The Imperial Hotel in Eumundi this Sunday 27 August 7pm-9pm.
TICKETS: Pre-sale $25 via Eventbrite, or pay $30 at the door.
There will also be a lucky door prize of two complimentary Maleny Music Festival tickets drawn on the evening.
