Description Rotunda features the beautiful collision of a live brass band with the raw power of contemporary dance, times to honour the Gallipoli landings of 1915. Performed by NZDC in conjunction with the NZ Army Band and North Shore Brass, playing range of heartfelt hymns and new brass works by contemporary NZ composers. A living memorial that celebrates the ANZAC spirit and the themes of courage, loss, kinship and ultimately, a dear for peace.
