Acclaimed South African composer Isak Roux headlines the inspiring play, Coming Home, which seeks to evoke themes found in the Biblical parable of The Prodigal Son.
Held over Reconciliation days, which is the 15th and 16th December, the work also aligns with the theme of this important and uniquely South African historical event.
Not only does Coming Home blend the voices of three solo singers, a large mixed choir and a jazz and string orchestra, but more importantly, it draws on the uniquely African musical genre of Isicathamiya. Roux - who has worked abroad extensively - was inspired to compose a work that will aim to bring the traditional Spiritual back to its ancestral home, Africa.
Musically, the audience will be treated to a mixture of classical, jazz and gospel styles, combined with a touch of township styles such as penny whistle, marabi and kwela. The narrative sections will see influences of praise song, IsiZulu oral poetry as well as a little kwaito coming through.
Roux explained that Coming Home will for the most part be interpreted in various indigenous languages of South Africa. "The work functions on different levels, and the parable itself appeals to people globally, regardless of one's religious affiliations. Also, it is a celebration of Africa and its Homecoming in light of the African Renaissance - it is a triumphant vision of our past, present and future," said Roux.
The play will be narrated by accomplished local actor, Sello Maake ka Ncube, with award winning soprano Sibongile Mngoma, and tenor Tim Moloi featuring prominently as soloists. The South African Chamber Choir will feature in the performance and the work will be conducted by Kutlwano Masote.
Coming Home is approximately 80 minutes, and will encompass two sections of 40 minutes each.
Taking place at the Joburg Promusica Theatre in Florida Park, on Tuesday 15 December at 20h00 and on Wednesday 16 December at 15h00, this is the ideal opportunity to celebrate the homecoming and reconciliation of our nation.
These concerts are supported by Classic FM and sponsored by The National Arts Council of South Africa. Tickets are available at Computicket and at the Joburg Promusica Theatre (011 674 1357/8/9) for R100.00
