Kiwi Karisma Christmas carols

Celebrate the holiday season with a joyful morning of whānau, kai and waiata at Redcliffe Museum.

Inspired by the Enjoy this trip: The art of music posters exhibition, Kiwi Karisma will bring the museum to life with a vibrant mix of traditional and contemporary Waiata Kirihimete (Māori Christmas carols). Alongside timeless classics made famous by legendary artists including Van Morrison, Paul McCartney and The Doors.

Gather with family and friends, sing along to beloved festive songs, and experience the warmth, connection and spirit of Māori culture through uplifting music and heartfelt storytelling.

Through rich harmonies and powerful performances, Kiwi Karisma shares the message of Mauri ora koutou katoa - the breath of life and wellbeing for all.
