12-piece jazz orchestra led by Wellington bassist Seth Boy.

The Seth Boy Orchestra plays original compositions and thoughtful arrangements for large format jazz ensemble. Including plenty of improvisation and musical freedom, Seth Boy Orchestra's sound is also heavily influenced by Seth Boy's Filipino upbringing.

Led by Wellington bassist and composer, the 12-strong Seth Boy Orchestra proudly presents Songs from the Land of Gold and Flowers. Featuring brand-new arrangements of Filipino folk songs and original compositions for jazz orchestra, Seth Boy has lovingly crafted an introspection and celebration of his homeland, the Philippine Islands. Seth Boy's music ranges from danceable rhythms to solemn meditations, all tied together by the harmony, grooves, and extra-musical sensibilities of both pre- and postcolonial Philippines. Join him and the band for an actively joyful and vivid concert featuring some of the city's brightest musicians.
