The African Concert Series
About the event
Join us for a remarkable day of concerts celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Soweto Uprising! 🌍✨
Experience an enchanting evening of orchestral music featuring compositions from South African artists, including the powerful Red Ink concerto for double bass and string orchestra (2019) by Shane Woodborne. This piece, commissioned by the Matseer Diabelli Sommer festival, is a heartfelt tribute to the esteemed bassist Leon Bosch and serves as a poignant memorial to the Soweto Uprising of 1976. A defining moment in the struggle against apartheid, this event carries a heavy yet inspiring legacy.
The evening will include an insightful introduction by Eugene Skeef, who is not only a composer but also a passionate poet and activist. Don’t miss out on this impactful musical journey! 🎻
