Nature lovers and music aficionados alike will have the rare opportunity to immerse themselves in a magical fusion of music and the natural world. This October the New Zealand String Quartet – Te Rōpu Tūrū o Aotearoa brings Sounds of the Sanctuary to Rosewood Cape Kidnappers - an unforgettable experience that evokes the beauty of nature and birdsong.
Encircled by Cape Sanctuary’s predator-proof fencing, Rosewood Cape Kidnappers provides a lucky few with this immersive experience in the gorgeous setting of one of the world’s most revered luxury lodges.
The carefully curated programme begins with Gareth Farr's Te Kōanga, a celebration of life and regeneration that echoes the rejuvenation of Aotearoa’s lush flora and fauna. Haydn's opus 64, no.5, famously known as The Lark, follows, with its melodies that soar like the bird, echoing the vibrant avian life that thrives within the nearby protected haven of Cape Sanctuary. Gillian Whitehead's Poroporoaki pays homage to the cultural and natural heritage of New Zealand, weaving a sonic tapestry that bridges the past and present. The concert concludes with Dvořák's String Quartet no. 12, opus 96, the beloved American Quartet. Its sweeping melodies evoke the spirit of exploration and adventure, mirroring the diverse ecosystems found within Aotearoa.
Tickets for the performance are available for $99 per person, which includes a welcome drink and gourmet canapés prepared by the culinary team at Rosewood Cape Kidnappers. For a truly indulgent experience, consider extending your visit to include a luxurious five-course tasting menu at the lodge. Tickets for the concert with dinner included are priced at $299 per person.
Sounds of the Sanctuary promises an extraordinary experience, celebrating New Zealand's breathtaking natural world and the power of music to connect with the beauty that surrounds us.
