Lawrence Arabia
Te Uru Waitakere Contemporary Gallery
Saturday 14th February, 7pm
Lawrence Arabia performs at Te Uru on Valentines Day accompanied by cellist Rachel Wells as part of the Black Rainbow Concert Series.
Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this charismatic and prolific performer playing Michael Parekowhai's unique carved piano, 'He korero purakau mo te awanui o te motu: Story of a New Zealand River', in a unique and intimate setting.
Lawrence Arabia (James Milne) has recorded three albums, playing most of the instruments on both of them. In 2009, his second album ‘Chant Darling’ was the inaugural winner of the Taite Music Prize for best independently released album of the year; and his song ‘Apple Pie Bed’ (co-written with the Phoenix Foundation’s Luke Buda) won the APRA Silver Scroll.
The Black Rainbow exhibition is developed and toured by Te Papa. The Black Rainbow Concert Series is curated by Hermione Johnson and supported by the Chartwell Trust.
Tickets are strictly limited for this unique and intimate event so be sure to book early.
