Horn-heavy duo and 2017
Taite Prize finalists Hopetoun Brown are joined on stage by arguably the
country’s finest trumpet player, Finn Scholes. Throughout two energetic sets they’ll
swap trumpets, saxophones, bass clarinets, tubas, trombones and an assortment
of strange keyboard instruments in a programme that moves through blues, soul,
funk, jazz, Americana, and stomp.
This fiery trio
will play songs from across the Hopetoun Brown cannon, including their brand
new long-player Don't Let Them Lock You
Up!
“It’s
the pervading sense of fun together with a respect for antique jazz, blues,
plantation work songs, doo-wop and funk that gives Hopetoun Brown their edge.”-Metro

Arts On Tour NZ (AOTNZ) organises tours of
outstanding New Zealand performers to rural and smaller centres in New Zealand.
The trust receives funding from Creative New Zealand as well as support from
Central Lakes Trust, Community Trust of Southland, Interislander, Otago
Community Trust, Rata Foundation and the Southern Trust. AOTNZ liaises with
local arts councils, repertory theatres and community groups to bring the best
of musical and theatrical talent to country districts. The AOTNZ programme is
environmentally sustainable – artists travel to their audiences rather than the
reverse.
