Evermore, Liam Finn, the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, Hollie Smith, The Phoenix Foundation, and Katchafire make up the 2008 season's talented six-pack in this, the fifth ZooMusic series for the zoo.
All six concerts will feature top support acts, and will each support a specific conservation project – giving music lovers the opportunity to enjoy some of New Zealand's hottest musical talents, while at the same time helping some of the planet's most endangered animals. Last year the series (five concerts) raised over $25,000 for conservation projects. With the community's support, the zoo is aiming to better that this summer.
"Where else can you bring along your picnic basket and settle down for a night of top quality music performed alongside the elephants, lions and tigers?" says Wild Bean Cafe marketing manager, Kate Capernaros.
"The crowds that come along have the enjoyment of seeing some of New Zealand's finest musicians perform in a lush, family-friendly location, and we get the opportunity to help the zoo to generate support for some major local and international conservation projects," says Ms Capernaros.
And we also got a discount with our FOTZ card.
The kids are very, very, excited and can't believe they are going to be out past their bedtime, we just can't believe we're going out.
Cheers
Tia
