Thames Music Group’s free Friday lunchtime concert this June is on the Matariki public holiday, Friday 20th June, and features youth-driven chorus, Manu Mātātahi.
Manu Mātātahi is passionate about revitalizing the barbershop style amongst young people in the Waikato. They’re made up of a diverse mix of genders, ages, and backgrounds – the one thing that unites them is their love for singing barbershop music.
Even though they have only been singing together since the start of 2022, they have been awarded bronze medals at the Barbershop Harmony New Zealand national competitions in both 2023 and 2024. Manu Mātātahi always welcomes new members – you can find them in the Marian School Hall, Hamilton, on Thursdays from 7:15pm.
Don’t miss this Matariki concert on at 12:15 pm, on Friday 20th June. Join Manu Mātātahi and your local Thames community to celebrate Matariki together and experience Manu Mātātahi’s passion for barbershop harmony, with their distinctive Aotearoa flavour.
