Amplify Aotearoa – Take It to the Bridge is a unique intergenerational music project that brings together some of Aotearoa's most respected artists with Hamilton schools and talented rangatahi from across the Waikato and Coromandel.

Students work alongside professional musicians in recording studios, learning directly from the artists as they recreate iconic New Zealand songs. The project culminates in a spectacular live concert, the release of a limited-edition vinyl record, and the creation of music videos and behind-the-scenes content celebrating the journey.

Featuring artists including Jason Kerrison (OpShop), Lawrence Arabia and Emlyn Crowther (Split Enz), Nathan King (Zed), Harry Lyon (Hello Sailor), Andrew McLennan (Coconut Rough), Hollie Smith, Don McGlashan, Jordan Luck, Harry Haralambi, Jesse O'Brien and more, Take It to the Bridge is about mentorship, creativity, and giving the next generation of musicians the opportunity to perform, record and collaborate at a professional level.
