One hour PBS documentary on Minnesota Orchestra's South Africa tour for the centenary year of Nelson Mandela’s birth. Music Director Osmo Vänskä leads performances in Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Johannesburg and Soweto, the township at the center of the anti-apartheid movement. Musicians visit schools, teach, rehearse side-by-side and collaborate with South Africans in this historic musical and cultural exchange. The tour included the world premiere in Minneapolis and South Africa of “Harmonia Ubuntu” a new work commissioned for the orchestra composed by Bongani Ndodana-Breen and based on the speeches of Nelson Mandela. https://youtu.be/t0fO_87NB38
