Journey through stellar music by superstar composers and performers with Community Classics: Beyond the Stars — a sparkling concert series hosted by charismatic performer Nick Hall (who you may also know as the drag queen Anita Wigl'it) in South, North and Central venues across Tāmaki Makaurau.

The concert also premieres when you and I collide, a vibrant new piece by Kiwi composer Lucy Mulgan. The work features a medley of iconic New Zealand pop anthems by Bic Runga, Dragon, and Fat Freddy’s Drop, given an orchestral twist and brought to life by powerhouse vocalists Jessie Cassin and Rutene Spooner.
