At the Worlds Edge Festival - 2023
Location: Central Otago and Queenstown Lakes
Region: Central Otago
Dates: Sat, 7 October 2023 - Fri, 20 October 2023
At the World’s Edge is a classical music festival creating a new stage for this essential asset in Central Lakes. A carefully curated program of live events that combine to create a journey through time, place and people, AWE is designed to transcend the walls of traditional chamber music and enkindle an entirely new relationship with our region. From engaging our curious adventurers who are yet to experience classical music, to fostering young talent throughout Wānaka, Cromwell, Queenstown and beyond, we aim to create a space held captive by classical music where unique moments unfold, connections are forged, and anything is possible.
A musical journey through the unmatched beauty of the Queenstown Lakes, the third AWE Festival begins in Queenstown with Sono, introducing us to a world of exploration and identity. Travelling for the first time to Bannockburn, Hommàge looks back to inspire new innovations before we move to Cromwell’s Cloudy Bay Shed for this year’s highly sought-after music and wine pairing event, Muzikální.
Returning to Queenstown, Immemorial offers an emotionally mesmerising programme, before the journey culminates in Wānaka’s stunning Rippon Winery for the final two programmes in our exploration of home, culture and identity, Homeland and Manifesto.
This year’s Festival Artists include some of NZ’s most admired musicians playing alongside international talents, such as ‘trailblazing artist’ Jordan Bak from the USA, the ‘musical Bear Grylls’ of British horn playing Ben Goldscheider, and ‘soulful, refined and poetic’ cellist Alice Neary.
In tandem with our Festival programme, AWE+ offers a series of free events exploring deeper the lives and music of our artists. We are also thrilled to showcase our Sei Solo: Violin & Dance performance, combining music and dance in a breathtaking new dimension.
