Ché-Fu is one of the New Zealand’s most successful and beloved recording artists, with more top ten songs than any individual in the country’s music history. He is considered a pioneer of hip hop and Pasifika music in Aotearoa.

This promises to be the Auckland Philharmonia’s grooviest musical collaboration in 2024. Don’t miss the chance to hear Ché-Fu & The Kratez perform Kiwi classics ‘Fade Away’, ‘Misty Frequencies’, ‘Hold Tight’ and many others, reimagined with full symphonic styling and the power of a 70-piece orchestra.
