The festival will include performances by the New Zealand Army Band, Ship Songs and the popular Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra.
The festival, from April 28 to May 3, is a wide-ranging event spanning theatre, art, dance and music - from cabaret through to classical and jazz - and includes several world premieres, according to Victoria Murray-Orr of EveNZ in Wanaka.
Otago artist Grahame Sydney will launch the festival with a premiere of his documentary Dreaming of El Dorado, while New Zealand pianists Michael Houstoun and Diedre Irons will also premiere work.
