A new centre for music
Kāhui St David’s is a centre for music-making, inspiration and social connection.
A place for celebration, remembrance and community within the historic St David’s Memorial Church, one of New Zealand’s most significant heritage buildings, located on Khyber Pass Road in central Auckland.
“Kāhui” means “the gathering” and captures the intention behind this new institution to serve all New Zealanders.
We invite you to visit to learn more about the building’s history and experience its transformation for yourself.
Nau mai, haere mai! Afio mai! Welcome to Kāhui St David’s!
