In its UMS debut, the Isango Ensemble, a South African theatre company, will be presenting three performances of a re-imagined look at Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s captivating score, transcribed for an orchestra of marimbas. This production provides a familiar and classical background alongside a vibrantly-contrasted foreground of a South African township setting.
This show will be playing October 16th, 17th, and 19th at the Power Center. I’ve been anticipating this performance for as long as I have known about it, for alongside being captivated by the works of Mozart, the Isango Ensemble’s work has been highly praised for its inventiveness and captivating performance! Be sure not to miss the Isango Ensemble this week!
