- Synopsis:
On February 28th, 2004, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa gave an historic gala concert at The Aotea Centre to launch the Kiri Te Kanawa Foundation, a cause truly close to her heart, created with the stated mission of providing financial and career support for talented young New Zealand singers and musicians at the start of their career. Accompanied by the Auckland Philharmonia, Kiri invited some of her native Kiwi friends to share in this world-class occasion, including Dame Malvina Major, Simon O'Neill and Helen Medlyn. It was the event of the year in Auckland and tickets sold out within hours of going on sale. The programme is an operatic event of all the favourites, an added bonus being this is the first time Dame Kiri and Dame Malvina Major have performed together in concert.
