About

Supported by Creative NZ, The Bewilderness is a composition loosely based on the unsettling experience of the COVID-19 pandemic from the sudden shock, through the stages of drama and disruption to periods of peace and introspection. Written for altered string quartet and voices, it features David Donaldson on double bass, Steve Roche on fiddle, Janet Roddick on vocals and harmonium, Ruby Solly on vocals, taonga pūoro, and cello, Tristan Carter on violin, and Jonny Marks on throat singing and percussion.
