About
Composer David Mason, the NYO’s 2022 Composer-in-Residence, draws on both his Māori heritage and classical music training in Wāhi Ngaro. “By integrating the style and colour of traditional Māori music with the vast, malleable sonic capabilities of the orchestra, I aim to develop a wholly Māori orchestral sound," says Mason.
