30 June 2010

Members of the media are invited to the opening of a production called, Mzansi Sings to Oliver Tambo. The aim of the production is to showcase our arts, culture and music in all its nuances and textures, giving an international community the opportunity and pleasure of appreciating and developing an understanding for the way in which music forms an important part of our history, reflecting our socio-political and economic antecedents.

The experience and expertise of musicians and artists who have amassed over 100 years in the arts, culture and music industry locally and internationally will be on display. In this production, jazz legend Victor Ntoni rearranged original choral melodies and merged them with township jazz to create a contemporary sound. An ensemble consisting of an 18 piece band, 20 voices, and a 10 piece string ensemble will perform.
