Grammy winner to make a special appearance at Disney’s The Lion King, Live in Concert (in Pretoria)
Revered music producer
and composer, Lebo-M will take the audience through a mesmeric performance of
‘The Circle of Life’ at opening night of Disney’s The Lion King Live in
Concert, in collaboration with FNB.
‘The Circle of Life’
is the soundtrack that Lebo-M composed with renowned Hollywood composer Hans
Zimmer which won them a 1995 Grammy for best instrumental arrangement with
accompanying vocals.
Lebo-M will join the
Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra – led by South African conductor – Eddie
Clayton on stage at The Sun Arena, Times Square in Pretoria on 10th
December for one night only. The shows (presented at its full duration of
118 minutes) will take place on 10th, 11th and 12th
December.
Speaking about his
involvement in this proudly South African production, Lebo-M had this to say,
“I am very proud to be part of a journey that started over 25 years ago, with
Disney’s The Lion King. I can’t wait for people to experience The Lion King
Live in Concert with a full orchestra – that boosts 84 renowned musicians made
up of 50 string players, 11 woodwinds, 13 brass, 1 harp, 6 percussion, 1
guitarist, 1 electric bass and a keyboard - at Sun Arena."
Lebo M also promises that this will be an
extraordinary experience not to be missed, and that he looks forward to seeing a lot of people at The Sun Arena. He adds: "Imagine being transported into Simba’s playful world with all its
adventure, love and loyalty, as well as the jealousy, threats and dangers of
their wicked and wily foes through soaring orchestral sounds – I do not think
there’s any better way to bring this magical experience to life than this!”

own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama,

newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back
what is rightfully his. The all-star cast includes Donald Glover as Simba,
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter as Nala, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Chiwetel Ejiofor as
