Synthony in the Domain was such a huge success with Auckland audiences that it has inspired a follow-up concert, this time in Queenstown.

This morning it was announced that an electrifying one-of-a-kind musical experience, Synthony in The Snow, will take place at Queenstown’s Coronet Peak on August 19.

Hidden amongst the snow, with a majestic backdrop of the Southern Alps, this event promises to be a breathtaking experience complete with night skiing - or snowboarding - accompanied by the exhilarating sound of the Synthony playing in the background.
