Experience the artistry of one of South Africa’s most celebrated jazz visionaries, Mandla Mlangeni.

A Standard Bank Young Artist for Jazz (2019) and Fellow at the University of the Western Cape’s Centre for Humanities Research, Mlangeni has established himself as a bold composer, trumpeter, and collaborator whose work pushes the boundaries of contemporary jazz.

From touring internationally with Cape Town Opera’s acclaimed production of Porgy and Bess to leading the award-nominated Amandla Freedom Ensemble and the globally acclaimed Tune Recreation Committee—named by The New York Times as one of the Best Albums of 2017—his music is a vibrant celebration of heritage, innovation, and fearless improvisation.

Join us for an unforgettable evening as Mandla Mlangeni & Friends bring together exceptional musicians for a performance that promises soulful storytelling, boundary-crossing sounds, and the spirit of musical communion.

Don’t miss this extraordinary celebration of South African jazz.
