Gate at 8: #Encounter | Where I am, because you are

An extraordinary musical encounter connects Johannes Brahms’ String Sextet No. 2 in G major with current arrangements by South African jazz musician and singer Mandisi Dyantyis. Two continents, two styles, two eras reveal themselves in a touching shared soundscape. The concept of Ubuntu – I am because you are – enables a concert with encounters beyond language, genre, and origin.

“For me, it is important to return to zero again and again, despite the highs of performing and the praise of people. The moment you land on the ground and are rooted, you become inspired.” Mandisi Dyantyis reveals in a conversation with Klaus Christa which encounters ground and inspire him.
