Just five weeks to go before the At the World's Edge Festival 2022! Take your place at the edge of the world. With six festival programmes, free Queenstown events, and AWE community performances, there’s something for everyone in the heart of the Southern Alps from 8-21 October 2022.
Launched last October within our stunning Central Lakes region, the 2022 programme has more performances, more free events and even more reasons to be a part of this annual chamber music festival.
In Wānaka, Cromwell and Queenstown from 8-21 October, this year’s festival boasts an impressive line-up of artists from Poland, UK, Estonia, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. With solos and duos through to sextets and octets, six thematically interlinked programmes will explore the roles solitude and togetherness play in the creative process.
Gareth Farr is the AWE 2022 Composer in Residence with six of his chamber works woven through the performances, in addition to a new commission for premiere by Artistic Director Benjamin Baker and Polish cellist Maciej Kułakowski.
Performed in three acoustically gorgeous locations, all amidst the stunning landscapes of the Central Lakes region, there is much to love about AWE. It’s simply not to be missed.
