“Music en Masse 2024”

A participative and fun orchestral concert is set to take place at the DLI Hall.

Organised by the The British Cultural and Heritage Association, the “Music en Masse 2024” invites anyone who can read and play music of any age and culture to be a part of the “the biggest orchestra ever seen in Durban”.

The concert will feature a public performance by a massed orchestra, under the baton of Russell Scott, which aims to serve the interests of the arts, culture and musical education in Durban.

There will also be interludes by guest artists, a pipe band and a pre-performance programme by marimba players.

The vision is to provide a platform for all musicians to develop their skills, provide an opportunity for amateur musicians to play as part of a full orchestra in an official concert and to facilitate the advancement and development of cultural activities and the arts.

Cheri Steenberg, co-ordinator from the British Cultural and Heritage Association said: “We are delighted to be able to prove a unique afternoon function for the entertainment of Durban residents.

“This contributes to the development of the arts in KZN by making the concert a participative afternoon of support for young musicians and in so doing, stimulating an interest in and an enthusiasm for orchestral music in Durban.”

Cost: R100 for adults, R80 for pensioners and R50 for children under 12. Tickets can be purchased at the door on the day or directly from the office, prior to the event between 9am and 1pm, at Berea Bowling Club.
