HOROMONA HORO

As a composer and practitioner of taonga pūoro, Horomona plays and handles the full spectrum of the instruments with measured skill. His historical and cultural understanding of taonga pūoro was passed on to him by his mentors, Dr Hirini Melbourne and Dr Richard Nunns, two of the people credited with the revival of the art form.

Whether performing solo or in collaboration, Horomona's extensive knowledge of style and process has led him to become the leading Māori representative of taonga pūoro at home and abroad.
