Four Seasons Music Concert to conclude Heritage Month with SA’s world-renowned Musicians as they embark on a musical, memory lane

 

Jazz, Soul and World-music aficionados are set to be in for a treat this Heritage Month as some of SA’s seasoned musicians will take the stage at The Wave Theatre, 44 on Long Street in Cape Town on 29 September. Presented by Blackground Events - and in partnership with The Wave Theatre, National Arts Council, the Department of Sports Arts & Culture as well as the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme - the 2023 edition of the Four Seasons Music Concert, themed “Cape Town influenced musicians” will be an intimate musical showcase about the influence of music in Cape Town as South Africa observes Heritage Month, as well as Cape Town having an influence on musicians' journeys.

Legendary Saxophonist, flute player and composer, McCoy Mrubata and acclaimed Bassplayer, songwriter and producer, Victor Masondo – both renowned for their passion for grooming talent and community upliftment in the music industry - will pay homage to fallen greats such as the late Langa Jazz legends, The Ngcukana Brothers (Duke, Ezra & Cyril); musical genius, Victor “Bra Vic” Ntoni; as well as tenor Saxophone maestro, the legendary Mr. Winston Mankunku Ngozi.

This intimate setting will also include multi-award-winning jazz vocalist and composer, Nomfundo Xaluva together with Bokani Dyer  (another multi-award-winning Motswana-South African pianist, composer and producer) – who are current carriers of the Jazz baton and will reference some of other seasoned musicians who have inspired their journeys namely Cape Town greats like Paul Hanmer, Jonathan Butler and Abdullah Ibrahim, who have tasted international success and are still carrying the flame with their local and international footprints.

“We’re thrilled about this year’s edition of the Four Seasons Music Concert because music has always been an important cultural and social factor for decades. Not only have we invited super-talented musicians currently carving their legacy on both the local and international scenes who are “Cape Town influenced musicians”, but the city is also known for institutions like the University of Cape Town for their contribution towards the arts but not only that, the history of Cape Town and identity of its people too,” says Hlubi Twiin from Blackground Events.

Tickets to the limited seating are available via Four Seasons Music Concert – The Wave (catchthewave.co.za) and the concert will start from 19h00 – 22h00.
