Gillian Whitehead writes:

"Ka maranga ngā kapua translates as ‘the clouds will lift’. There are three short pieces in the set, and the last two were written just after the whole of Aotearoa went into Level 4 lockdown in August 2021. The pieces reflect our changing perceptions through the juxtaposition of ideas or styles from different times.”

Ka maranga ngā kapua was commissioned by NZTrio in 2021 with funding from Creative New Zealand.
