The classic requiem form is the springboard for a new work that reflects on how Kiwis have been experiencing loneliness, distance, and uncertainty under lockdown and border restrictions. Where Will They Bury My Bones? composed by Gareth Farr, is a highlight of the revamped Auckland Arts Festival programme. This 20-minute work has been created by New Zealanders living in three different countries.. And in a sign of the times, the premiere will take place online, and people are being asked to pay what they can. Lynn Freeman asks composer Gareth Farr how he's responded to a time of great dislocation, here and worldwide.
