NSA 2nd Edition of the POP & JAZZ ENSEMBLE in Concert
22 March @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
R100 – R150
The National School of the Arts Music Department presents the 2nd Edition of the POP & JAZZ ENSEMBLE in Concert. Featuring the NSA band, orchestra, choir and featured soloists performing a wealth of local repertoire.
BREAKING NEWS! This showcase performance will also feature the multi-award winning songstress and NSA alum ZOË MODIGA who returns in a heartwarming, full circle moment to “make memories and magic with the students whose walk I am familiar with.” This coming home collaborative performance will exemplify the power of this remarkable institution and the talent that it attracts.
Taking his customary position within an orchestra – but this time it is not in a professional philharmonic but in the year old NSA orchestra – is another proud alumnus of the NSA, SAMSON DIAMOND! He has graced stages and orchestras around the world and is brimming with enthusiasm and excitement as he prepares to walk an old familiar path at the National School of the Arts – a place that helped to kindle his artistic fire and nurture his academic and artistic talents.
With creative direction from industy leader Clive Mathibe and choreography and staging by another NSA Alum – Lesego van Niekerk, and lighting and projections by Wilhelm Disbergen audiences can look forward to a remarkable showcase of the talent that is the NSA.
This production is a showcase for the NSA Music Department. The musical direction for JAzz & Pop Ensembles is in the inspired hands of Siya Dlungwana (band), Lucky Moletsane and Cecelia Manyama (orchestra) and Choir master, Xolani Noveld who all work tirelessly to nurture and showcase the young talent in their charge.
The Choir and the corps dancers for JAzz & Pop Ensembles in Concert come from across the four specialist departments at the school once again showing how versatile the NSA artists are!
JAZZ & POP ENSEMBLES in CONCERT is the perfect entertainment for the Human Rights weekend – authentically and proudly South African!
The NSA acknowledges the National Arts Council of South Africa for seeing value in our CREATIVE CONFLUENCE proposal and granting the NSA funding through the PESP 5 to stage “THE NSA JAZZ & POP ENSEMBLES IN CONCERT”
