Waihirere

Waihirere proudly boasts a long and highly successful existence. The group was formed to foster excellence in Maori performing arts, both traditional and contemporary, and as they approach their 60th year in 2012 they can quietly celebrate their journey. This includes: 5 time winners of the national Te Matatini Festival; representing Aotearoa nationally before HRH Queen Elizabeth & Prince Phillip and Prince Charles & Princess Diana; representing Aotearoa internationally at the South Pacific Festival of Arts; and performing locally, nationally and internationally with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa.
