It has been a pleasure for Cape Town Opera to conceive a program that spiritually unites African sacred music with the canon of Western church music and oratorio. By accompanying the repertoire with guitar and drawing on improvisatory aspects of Western baroque music in particular, we hope to distill each work to its core message, and invite you to re-hear all of these masterpieces and their texts freshly, through the voices of our artists and the lens of traditional African song.
