The Australian Boys Choir and The Kelly Gang are thrilled to be touring New Zealand this September.
This concert of inspirational and aspirational music examines the nature of human achievement and celebrates the remarkable things that we are capable of as people when we truly put our mind to something. This program also draws inspiration from the night sky, including music conceived by simply looking up and reaching for the stars.
These very special performances mark the ABCI's first concerts in Aotearoa since their last visit in 2015.
