The MIAGI Orchestra from South Africa needs no introduction to the Young Euro Classic audience. Since its festival debut in 2009, its young musicians have created indelible memories with their passion for music – no matter whether European classical or South African music. In 2024 the MIAGI Orchestra brings a fully equipped jazz band and a large percussion ensemble along on its tour; together, the 60 musicians go “In Search of the African Footprint”. In special arrangements by the percussionist and conductor David Panzl and the jazz luminary Markus Geiselhart, they present works by European, American and South African composers: from the USA, there is George Gershwin, from Mexico Silvestre Revueltas, and then there is the Celebration Suite by Anders Paulsson, which is based on South African freedom songs and recalls the long struggle against Apartheid. Compositions such as Black Child, Birdland or the Miles Davis classic Blue in Green round out the unusual programme – between classical orchestra sound, moving harmonies and catchy rhythms, there is so much to discover!
