Show
The special weekend of centenary celebrations will open with a spectacular gala concert, hosted by Jolene James, in which three internationally acclaimed theatre organists showcase everything the Mighty Wurli is capable of. Scott Harrison lifts the curtain on the Wurli’s extraordinary inner workings, while performing musical showstoppers and nostalgic favourites. Baycourt’s inaugural resident organist Chris Powell reunites the Wurli with its theatrical roots, accompanying Tauranga opera talent in "The Merry Widow" before shifting gears through jazz, war-era anthems and ragtime.

Concert
Children have a remarkable way of experiencing the world. They play without purpose. They ask endless questions. They find wonder in ordinary things. They laugh loudly, imagine freely, and live entirely in the moment. They don't worry about productivity, deadlines, status, or what comes next. They simply experience life as it happens. Then we grow up.
