12.00pm every Friday 
An hour of free live music – no bookings necessary
Drawing room

Drop in to enjoy free live music at the Pah every Friday lunchtime from September to 6 December. We offer an enhanced gallery experience combining art and music – pull up a chair and take in the performance or just listen to the music in the background as you wander through our exquisite gallery spaces.

This initiative continues the commitment by the Wallace Arts Trust to support live music and to offer performance opportunities for local musicians. The Pah Homestead is a unique arts venue, with its grand piano and great acoustics in the drawing room, where these gigs are held. Auckland is rich with a diverse range of creative musical talent and we celebrate this every week over winter with different musicians playing live for an hour.
