Bongani Tembe, Chief Executive and Artistic Director of the Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra says, “Our audiences will be delighted to hear that Marin Alsop will return for this year’s tour following her sensational appearances last year.
“We are thrilled that the highly accomplished South African dramatic soprano, Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha, will be our soloist for 2023. Cecilia has a special talent coupled with a warm heart and personality.”
The Mzansi Philharmonic was launched in 2022, as part of an initiative of the Department of Sport, Arts and Culture to broaden the orchestral experience of the country.
The Orchestra consists of up to 110 non-permanent musicians who are drawn from regional orchestras, universities, and freelance musicians.
