Programmes

NATIONAL CADETSHIP PROGRAMME

Our National Cadetship Programme has been implemented in recognition of the limited representation of black musicians and the increasing demand for South African musicians in the pool of present and future professional musicians across our country’s orchestras.

The Mzansi Philharmonic plays an active role in harnessing South African musicians and providing them with the opportunity to acquire the essential skills and hands-on experience for a successful career in the performing arts. This programme contributes to job creation by offering targeted training and development of musicians.

Education and Development

We’re passionate about providing closer access to orchestra music for a broader and more diverse audience base.

We see this take place through the lens of exposure, upliftment, impartation, and mastery. We know that we can’t achieve this alone, and so we work with partners throughout the country who work in various levels of the community, growing the sector ecosystem and using music to transform lives.

OUR PARTNERS

We strongly believe in the power of music to unite communities and bring about positive change. Mzansi Philharmonic actively engages with provincial and youth orchestra programmes, universities and other music organisations to make music accessible to all.

Through funding, collaborative initiatives, interactive performances and educational partnerships, we strive to inspire a lifelong appreciation for music among diverse audiences.

By breaking down barriers and embracing diversity, we aim to create an inclusive and vibrant musical community where everyone can find their voice.
