Koru Beats

Horowhenua youth are facing the music!

Te Takeretanga o Kura-hau-pō is proud to host Koru Beats – the musical concert focused entirely on the youth of Horowhenua.

Join us at Te Takeretanga o Kura-hau-pō as rangatahi take to the stage in a showcase of up-and-coming musical talent from across the rohe. From solo and duo artists to full bands, be amazed as our local youth step up to show you what they’ve got in what will be, for some, their very first chance to perform live for an audience. 

If that isn’t enough, some of our eager rangitahi will be taking over a weekly Friday concert during the school holidays - Friday Concert Takeover, 3 October 2025 - before the main event on Saturday 18 October 2025.

So come on in and show your support for our youth – don’t miss your chance to say you were there when the next big musical talent hit the stage for the first time ever!
