Auckland’s Sri Lankan community can look forward to an evening of live music and much-loved melodies when රසෝඝය (Rasogaya) – Golden Voices & Timeless Classics arrives at the Dorothy Winstone Centre on Saturday 24 October 2026. Organised by CMB Events, the show is scheduled to begin at 6:30 pm and will bring Sri Lankan live music to a central Auckland venue.
The event is billed as a celebration of golden voices and timeless classics, accompanied by a live orchestra. It offers an opportunity for Sri Lankan music fans to enjoy familiar songs together, while welcoming anyone interested in the island’s musical culture. Tickets are available through Kiwilanka, and readers should check the booking page for current availability and event updates.
An evening of Sri Lankan music in Auckland
Rasogaya’s Auckland programme is presented around the appeal of enduring Sri Lankan songs and the voices associated with them. The MalibanStreet event listing names Karunarathna Divulgane, Chandana Liyanarachchi and Siyumini Opayangi among the featured performers. It also promotes a live orchestra accompanying the singers.
For many listeners, classic songs carry memories of family gatherings, celebrations and time spent in Sri Lanka. Hearing them performed live can create a shared experience across generations: older audience members may recognise songs from earlier years, while younger listeners can connect with music that remains part of their family and cultural life.
The show’s title, රසෝඝය (Rasogaya), is presented alongside the English description “Golden Voices & Timeless Classics”. Together, they signal an evening centred on Sri Lankan musical favourites and a live performance setting rather than a recorded playlist.

A gathering place for Sri Lankans in New Zealand
Sri Lankan events in New Zealand bring people together through music, dance, food and shared traditions. For Sri Lankans in New Zealand, a live concert can be more than a night out: it is also a chance to meet friends and family, spend time with the wider community and enjoy cultural connections in a familiar setting.
Rasogaya is part of a wider tour that also includes a Brisbane date in Australia. Auckland and Brisbane are among the cities connected by travel, family and community ties across the Tasman. Touring shows that visit both countries reflect the strength of this circuit, giving audiences in different cities access to Sri Lankan performers and live music experiences.
The event is also listed on community platforms including MalibanStreet and LankanHub, helping readers find local Sri Lankan events and plan ahead. For Auckland residents, the central location makes the show accessible to people travelling from different parts of the city and surrounding areas.
The Dorothy Winstone Centre
The concert will take place at the Dorothy Winstone Centre, at 16 Howe Street in Freemans Bay. The venue is a well-known central Auckland location for cultural performances, providing an appropriate setting for a live music event.
As with any evening performance, guests may wish to allow time to travel, find parking or make public transport arrangements before the show. The event information currently gives a start time of 6:30 pm onwards. Attendees should confirm the latest timing and any entry guidance with the organiser or ticket provider before setting out.
