Our Bloemfontein audiences experienced sheer musical brilliance by Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra, South Africa’s renowned national orchestra that graced the presidential inauguration in 2024 year with their performance. We were captivated by the nation’s top orchestral musicians as they brought to life the enchanting symphony, Scheherezade, by Rimsky-Korsakov and the iconic “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin. The second concert of the national tour was presented at the Sand du Plessis Theatre in Bloemfontein on Sunday, 1 December at 15:00.

We can’t wait to share our music with you! Welcome!!.
We know that you might be wide-eyed at the thought of donning your Sunday best and knowing when to clap, but you can rest assured that we’ve got your back. Here are a few bits of information, and answers to questions, that we hope will make your experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible.
This is a common one. Baggies and beachwear might not be ideal, but you can come comfortably; you may see others in tuxes and evening wear, but you’ll also see business/professional wear, streetwear, or neat casual.
We’re always grateful for an enthusiastic audience! We do ask that you hold your clap until the end of the piece (and kindly request that you not clap between movements). If you’re feeling unsure, take a peek at your programme, or alternatively wait for some of our exuberant audience members to show you the way.
We realise that asking you to take a two hour break from your phone is tough in this day and age (or is it blissful?). You’re so welcome to take pictures in the foyer, and before the musicians have taken their place on stage (bonus points if you tag us #MzansiPhil). However, out of respect for your fellow patrons, and the musicians, we ask that you keep your phone on silent throughout the performance and refrain from checking it/taking pics and videos (the light from your phone is brighter that you might think).
Most of our concerts are one and a half to two hours long, including an interval.
When it comes to figuring out how our concerts work, and what you need to know to make it an unforgettable experience, there are no trivial or irrelevant questions. We’d love to answer you directly, either ahead of time or on the night. You can contact us here, or chat to one of our friendly ushers on the night.
Although the “RHYTHMS OF HOPE – BLM” concert has concluded, the memories and emotions it evoked linger on.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all attendees, performers, and supporters who made this event a resounding success.
Stay tuned for future events and join us as we continue to create musical moments that inspire and uplift.
