Music Revival Concert for September - An
Evening with Kutlwano Masote.
Popular radio personality and presenter
Kutlwano Masote, of SAfm’s Weekend Sundowner Classics broadcast every
Saturday and Sunday afternoons, will be in conversation with Music Revival’s Christopher
Duigan. He will also introduce a selection of his favourite music (which Duigan
will play), and play the cello in a short selection of favourites.
Kutlwano Masote was raised in a rich classical music environment, excelling on the cello, and has been a professional classical music practitioner for nearly 30 years. He made his professional conducting debut in 2006 in a concert of the music of Ladysmith Black Mambazo with accompanied by full orchestra. In 2007, he conducted the Todd Matshikiza Retrospective Concert at the State Theatre. During the MIAGI Festival of 2008, Masote conducted the world-premiere Coming Home, a jazz gospel cantata by Isak Roux. Some of the mainstream artists he has conducted include Sibongile Khumalo, Jamali, Elvis Blue, Lira and Yvonne Chaka Chaka. His appetite for bridging the gap between different performance traditions has seen him undertake projects to orchestrate music from multiple genres for Khuli Chana, Kwesta, Maleh, Brenda Mntambo and others.
