SYMPHONIC CELEBRATION: MANDISI DYANTYIS

 


Imagine: the beautiful compositions of Mandisi Dyantyis, with his powerful voice accompanied by his regular band and singers, and then ... for electric impact ... add the rich sound of the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra.

Mandisi Dyantyis, in collaboration with Real Wired Music, present exquisitely orchestrated arrangements that elevate some of Mandisi's most beautiful songs to another level. Compositions from Cwaka, Somandla and Intlambululu will feature in the night's repertoire.
