The Mana Moana concert in Wellington, featuring the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and the Signature Choir, has sold out both of its shows on July 24 and 25. Led by conductor Brent Stewart, the performances blend symphony music with traditional and contemporary songs from Pacific Island nations, including Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Cook Islands, Niue, and Tokelau. The event celebrates Pacific languages and stories, following successful shows in Sydney and Auckland.
