Crystal Chen

Crystal Chen is a Chinese-New Zealand singer, musician and visual artist redefining New Zealand's contemporary sound. Her debut album You Can Call Me CC feels like reading a diary set to music - intimate, soulful, and intricately arranged with some of New Zealand's finest jazz musicians. Experience these songs live under The Pavilion in Aotea Square on Thursday, 4 December from 6pm - 6:45pm for an unforgettable evening of sound and story.

This performance is part of Auckland Live Christmas in Aotea Square 2025 - a free, all-ages celebration in the heart of Tāmaki Makaurau, running from Friday, 28 November to Sunday, 21 December 2025.

Over 24 days, Aotea Square comes alive with live music, circus, film, karaoke, toi whakaari (performance) and whānau-friendly fun, plus large-scale artworks including The Pavilion and four-metre-tall light installation The Neon Star by Angus Muir.

Auckland Live Christmas in Aotea Square 2025 is an Auckland Council Event and proudly supported by the city centre targeted rate.
