The UKZN School of Arts (Music) is proud to announce its inaugural Showcase concert, featuring African Music and Dance, Jazz and Popular Music, Opera, Choral Music and Western Art Music - all well-established performance streams in the School of Arts.  This multi-genre concert recognizes that collaboration and representation of the culture and traditions of our diverse community is central to an effective and progressive education.

The concert will feature performances by student soloists and ensembles, including the African Music and Dance Ensemble, the UKZN Jazz Ensemble and Big Band and the Pop Voice Ensemble. Our Opera students will perform selections from a Zulu translation of Mozart’s ‘The Magic Flute’/‘Umtshingo wemilingo’ as well as other well-loved operatic works. Audiences can look forward to a diverse music program that will include standards and original compositions and arrangements by UKZN Music staff, students and alumni.

This event is made possible by project funding from the Mzansi Philharmonic Orchestra, and venue/technical sponsorship from UKZN’s Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre.
