At the World’s Edge Festival launches this spring in Wānaka at the magnificent Rippon Hall, opening a week of world-class chamber music programmes that explore bounds and bridges, and the lines that entwine, divide and connect.
Between considers what lies beneath the surface of music: the hidden structures, unspoken emotions, and unseen connections that reveal themselves through shared experience. At its heart is the world premiere of Michael Norris’ AWE 2026 commission, developed alongside a new sculptural work by Ed Cruickshank, where meaning exists simultaneously in physical and sonic form.
A Free Artist Talk sees our Composer in Residence, Michael Norris, introduce his music and discuss his new AWE commission for string trio. Local sculptor Ed Cruickshank will join Michael in a discussion about their creative collaboration.
