Conductor Ofentse Pitse is set to bring her innovative concert series back to Cape Town with the second episode featuring amapiano sensation Young Stunna. Building on the success of her previous collaboration with rapper Maglera Doe Boy, Pitse continues to merge classical orchestration with contemporary South African music.

She stresses that classical music has no age limits and can be adapted to contemporary tastes without losing its essence. For Pitse, the series is a platform to break barriers, make orchestral music more inclusive, and showcase her creativity by combining music, storytelling, and her architectural sensibilities. Future dream collaborations include artists like Tems and Solange, who share her intentional approach to music. Overall, this concert series represents a unique intersection of classical technique and modern South African culture, designed to leave a lasting impact on audiences.
