Spotlight on the Music of South Africa
For years, South Africa has given rise to brilliantly creative and original artists, offering an endless supply of inspiration to music fans worldwide. This season we welcome several of the country’s extraordinary musicians to Carnegie Hall, including genre-defying cellist Abel Selaocoe and his Bantu Ensemble, the thrilling vocals of the Ndlovu Youth Choir, the transportive jazz of Nduduzo Makhathini, and a not-to-be missed collaboration featuring two of South Africa’s foremost singer-songwriters: Zolani Mahola and Jesse Clegg. Join us as we mark the 30th anniversary of the country’s first democratic elections and look to the Rainbow Nation with optimism and hope in the pursuit of a better future for all.
