This year, we explore bounds and bridges, considering the lines that entwine, divide and connect. Join us At the World’s Edge for seven masterful programmes, free events and community performances. This is AWE.
Our final programme, The Line, brings the festival to a close in Queenstown with a programme that traces music's most essential journey: from a single footprint in an empty landscape, through voices shaped by love, loss, and encounter, to a musical line forcibly rewritten by history, revealing music's enduring ability to connect us across time.
