A celebration of the rich vocality of South Africa’s acclaimed lyric stars, the concert presentation was in line with the Company’s commitment - as the founder and producer of its annual South African Women’s Arts Festival - to showcasing the vibrant role women play in our performing arts industry.
Accompanied by members of the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra, the roster of 10 South African Sopranos included Sibongile Mngoma, Pumeza Matshikiza, Nozuko Teto, Khumbuzile Dlamini, Siphamandla Moyake, Pumza Mxinwa, Zolina Ngejane, Sasa N Yende, Brenda Thulo and Khayakazi Madlala.
