Imperial Tiger Orchestra

This six-piece orchestra’s repertoire consists of revamped songs from the golden age of modern Ethiopian music (1969-1978) – but they are not to be mistaken for a covers band. From 29 September to 9 October, they will sweep through Cape Town, Harare, Maputo, Johannesburg and Durban, performing for the first time in collaboration with an Ethiopian artist.

«The Making of Spectacles»

Acclaimed Swiss contemporary dance artist Foofwa d'Imobilité and his company bring two innovative dance pieces to Southern Africa in September. Their visit forms part of a tour presented by Pro Helvetia Cape Town, the Swiss Arts Council, and includes performances in the major centres of Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban as well as Maputo and Antananarivo.

«Pianessence»

After a period of research, including a visit to South Africa earlier this year, Petra Ronner’s «Pianessence», a collaborative project to create new pieces for piano and electronics, is reaching fruition. She returns to the country to perform different programmes at Arts Alive in Johannesburg, the KEMUS concert cycle at the University of Stellenbosch, and the eMusic Indaba in Durban.
