Samiu Katoa Uatahausi – Conductor
Pacific Underground
2025 marks the first collaboration between Christchurch Symphony Orchestra and the legendary Pacific Underground. Join us for a landmark evening as CSO’s symphonic power meets the soul and energy of Aotearoa’s vibrant Pasifika communities. Together, we’ll journey through 30 years of Pacific Underground's lush harmonies, driving rhythms, and stirring melodies that celebrate the cultural heartbeat of Te Moana-Nui-a-Kiwa (the Pacific ocean) and Ōtautahi Christchurch.
This unmissable night of mana, moemoeā (dreams) and magafaao (togetherness) honours Ōtautahi’s Pasifika legacies bringing heritage, resilience, and creativity to the fore.
