Grand Designs call for a Grand Composer

The sixth season of popular Grand Designs New Zealand is now screening on TV Three, showcasing a number of creative and enterprising Kiwis who are taking on the challenge of building their own unique and inspirational homes. 

In Episode 3, the Floating Beach Bach episode, where industrial designer Mark Pennington sets himself the task of building a beachfront residence on the Paekakariki coast, the programme features a touching excerpt ( 15:20) about Douglas Lilburn who once resided on the same property in the 1950’s. Local neighbour and pianist Mary Gow performs ‘Four Preludes for Piano’ by Douglas Lilburn as the protagonists listen, visibly moved by the music and the majestic untamed coastline.

Songbroker is very proud to have been able to bring the beautiful music of Lilburn into kiwi homes in this special way.
