In a world where belief in possibility fuels the future, we are proud to announce the upcoming Sounds of Celebration concert, themed Believe. Set to take place on the 10^th of September, at the WITS Linder Auditorium, this hybrid concert brings together exceptional musical talent from across South Africa’s four provinces, celebrating the power of music to unite, inspire, and transcend boundaries. This celebration concert was made possible by a grant from the National Lotteries Commission (NLC). We’re proud to announce that featured performers include:

• Afriikan Papi: Afropop vocalist well known for featuring on the hit song ‘Paris’— his music and beats will electrify the stage.
• Thato Rampedi: YouTube sensation, and the charismatic emcee for the evening, guiding audiences through this exceptional celebration of music and unity.
• Matumelo Mothupi: A powerhouse vocalist, Tumi will inspire the audience with her evocative renditions of songs about hope and courage inspiring belief.
• St Dominic’s Steel Band: Bringing an uplifting Caribbean flair, their vibrant performance is sure to energise the audience.
• Jeppe Boys Pipe Band: Offering a mix of traditional pipe music with a modern twist, this band symbolises unity across generations and cultures.

Also performing will be students from Education Africa’s Marimba Hubs, which operate in underserved communities. These hubs provide access to music education, using a unique teaching method developed by Joan Lithgow, Marimba Specialist at Education Africa. The program equips schools with marimbas and drums, empowering educators and learners alike with the tools to excel in ensemble music. Through a combination of intensive training and ongoing support for educators, these hubs have become a vibrant part of community life.

The Sounds of Celebration concert is not just about music—it’s a testament to the resilience and capabilities of our special-needs Hubs, who will also perform, showcasing their exceptional talents. Their participation underlines the concert’s core belief that anything is possible when we nurture resilience and embrace each other’s differences. It’s also a call for social cohesion, a testament to the unifying force of ensemble music, and an affirmation that a better future is possible when we all believe in each other. Music from these performers will break barriers, showing that through resilience, inclusivity, and determination, we can achieve a world where everyone’s potential is realised. 

Tickets: R100. Available on TicketPro HERE.

Come join us in celebrating belief, resilience, and unity through the universal language of music.
