Rooted in the philosophy of Ubuntu-“I am because we are”- the ensemble brings together young musicians from diverse backgrounds and celebrates the rich traditions of South African jazz alonside contemporary influences.

Together, these performances and exhibitions invite audiences to consider what we inherit, what we preserve and what we choose to pass on to future generations.
