We caught up with composer Lucy Mulgan to talk about her children's opera Red! which will be performed in Wellington on 4 August 2021 by NZ Opera, featuring singers Natasha Te Rupe Wilson, Catrin Johnsson and Robert Tucker, Orchestra Wellington and 200 schoolchildren, conducted by Brent Stewart.

He Pu, He Puoro, He Purakau (A seed, an instrument, a story) is the result of a longstanding musical collaboration between composers and musicians Horomona Horo and Jeremy Mayall that bridges the worlds of taonga puoro with the world of the orchestra. SOUNZ caught up with Jeremy to learn more about the collaborative process and how this work came about.
