Mandisi Dyantis Symphonic Celebration – KZN

Mandisi Dyantyis, in collaboration with Real Wired Music present Mandisi Dyantyis “Symphonic Celebration” which will culminate as an exclusive offering of 2 nights, at the beautiful Playhouse Theatre Opera House.
The arrangements have been exquisitely orchestrated, and some of Mandisi’s most beautiful songs have been given an extra graceful lift to another level.
Compositions from “Cwaka” and “Somandla” and “Intlambululu” will feature in the night’s repertoire, and all with the spectacular support from the incredible KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra.
The last few shows he played at The Playhouse were all SOLD OUT, so don’t even think about hesitating to get your tickets.
Come witness an exclusive experience, possibly never to be repeated again

The premiere took place in 1845 with Clara as the soloist. The 20-year old Mendelssohn visited Scotland in 1829, and was deeply moved by the wild landscapes, romantic ruins, and dramatic history. In a letter describing his visit to the ruins of Holyrood Palace — the home of Mary, Queen of Scots — he wrote, ‘Everything round is broken, and mouldering and the bright sky shines in. I believe I have today found in that old chapel the beginning of my Scottish Symphony’. Despite this early inspiration, Mendelssohn struggled with the development for over a decade. While his travels heavily inspire the work, it is not a literal musical travelogue, but rather, a piece of absolute music that evokes the atmosphere of the North—a ‘sombre and moody’ recollection of his Scottish journey.
