The Article states:
What's on the program at an Anchored Sound performance? Audiences might get
to hear pieces written by Mzilikazi Khumalo, Phelelani Mnomiya, or Sibusiso
Njeza. If these names are new to you, you're not alone. At classical music
concerts, it's more common to hear music written centuries ago by European
composers like Mozart and Beethoven, but Pitse wants listeners to know that
classical music is alive and well in Africa, so the group's repertoire focuses on
African composers. It's all part of Pitse's plan to bring the beauty and artistry of
African classical music to the world. Clearly, this former architect's not afraid to
orchestrate change on a big scale!

is in the world today
