Make the most of WeBO with that second (or third!) performance at a POP-UP stage around Wellington!

Some of the great venues outside of the WeBO festival at the POP-UP

stages around Wellington include:

- Four POP-UP venues around the Botanical Gardens.

- Jazz Combo POP-UP at the Cable Car.

- Small String Ensembles and Jazz Combos at select Wellington Cafés.

- Sound Shell POP-UP for 30-40 performers.

It is important that you register your interest so we can discuss available POP-UP performance times that do not clash with your onstage performances and/or workshops.

General Daily Outline

Each day is broken into two halves. Ensembles are scheduled for their part of the day to perform on the main stage, then to their workshop directly after the performance, or to be in the audience to support the other ensembles. Each day ends with a brief awards ceremony where our participation award certificates are given to each ensemble.

Concert Performance

Each ensemble has a performance time of 20 mins on the main stage. Performances will be evaluated by some of of New Zealand and Australia’s top educators and clinicians who will provide valuable written and spoken feedback on your performance.

Workshops

After your ensembles on stage performance the group will be taken to the workshop hall nearby for a short personal workshop with one of the clinicians who has watched and evaluated your performance. The second hall is set to allow a quick transition for attendees and a more relaxed atmosphere for the workshop.

Awards

Every ensemble performing receives a Platinum, Gold or Silver participation certificate along with a director’s video containing the adjudicators voice over. WeBO is primarily a participation event, so no matter your ensembles skill set, or repertoire, awards are given on key criteria that encompass all aspects of an ensemble.

Professional Development Video for Directors

During the performance a professional development video is recorded from the rear of the stage with a clinician’s voice over. This is taken from the perspective of the ensemble members to help better understand comments about conducting, etc. as the action happens. This is a great tool for students and teachers development.

Pop-Up Performances

Enquire about the opportunity to perform around Wellington (weather permitting) at one of our POP-UP venues. This is a chance for visiting ensembles to add another performance opportunity. Participating ensembles would have to be self-sufficient as POP-UP Venues only provide the opportunity and power as needed. It is important that you register your interest so we can organise available times that do not clash with your onstage performances and/or workshops.
