About

Suite Aotearoa

original compositions for piano and taonga pūoro

Sharon Joy Vogan, piano
Horomona Horo, taonga puoro

This album is a beautiful complete listen, a flowing sequence of Aotearoa music magic in the form of 12 short commissions from a fine selection of younger NZ composers connected by the artistry of Horomana Horo's Taonga Puoro. "Suite Aotearoa" is one of the first albums to combine concert piano and Taonga Puoro.
