Welcome to Around The Table, a podcast by creatives for creatives. We bring creatives in Aotearoa New Zealand around the table for discussions around why the arts are crucial to the wellbeing of our people, advocating for a more creative Aotearoa, and everything in between.
In this special NZ Music Month episode, host Arpége Taratoa is joined by musician and educator Elisha Fa’i So’oialo, singer-songwriter Lizzy Kula, and Creative Bay of Plenty’s own Rose Treadwell for an intimate kōrero exploring the powerful relationship between music and wellbeing.
The guests share stories of how music shapes identity, connects communities, and supports healing — for artists, students, and everyday people. From the roots of Pacific choral singing to the therapeutic potential of collective voice work, this episode reveals how music is a force for expression, connection, and restoration.
Key themes include the vulnerability of publishing original music, the joy of communal singing, and music's role in cultural storytelling. Tune in for a heartening, honest, and joy-filled conversation that reminds us that everyone has a soundtrack to their life.
