The existence of the I Grandi Tenori is to
ensure that there is a unified voice for young people in the field of art, with
a profusion focus given to classical and opera artists. Without a doubt, the
main and important role of IGT is to advocate for the employment of opera
graduates through staging concerts, opera extracts and competitions that will
yield economic-benefit for solemnly these graduates.
Under the banner of KwaZulu-Natal
Department of Education supported by Ikusasa Le Africa Foundation &
eThekwini Municipality, I Grandi Tenori mentors high school pupils against
social ills. The team also harbours musical masterclasses specifically on
technical singing, theory, career-guidance and of course general mentorship.
“While travelling across all borders of
this country embroiding best classical performance we fuel this vehicle by
cultivating our limited skills and knowledge to our younger brothers and
sisters in secondary schools. Especially in the province of KwaZulu-Natal (our
founding province) so that they too can unleash their potential, creativity and
innovation because we believe that the future of Africa is in the capable hands
of us as the youth!” say the organisers.
Following a benefit concert, My Freedom is
My Pride, held Durban City Hall earlier this year which raised R56,000 towards
