Hear the tension of flooding in one of Aotearoa's lowest-lying areas as portrayed by the oboe and violin of the Dunedin Symphony Orchestra. Nathaniel Otley's ‘this rising tide, these former wetlands’ combines the histories and stories of the South Dunedin area with the lived experiences of the community gathered through Nathaniel’s interviews and research. Listen on to hear the DSO's performance, complete with dune grass, driftwood and railway tracks in the percussion section!
