Musical unity through diversity


Nov 2, 2010 | Edward Tsumele |
A MUSICAL that fuses voices from various backgrounds will run at the Old Mutual Theatre on the Square in Sandton from November 14 to 18.

Diversity, a musical produced by independent theatre producer Daphne Kuhn, stars Yudi Cohen, Zebulon Mmusi, Mkhanyiseli Mlombi and Khanyiso Gwenxane.
It is a fusion of multiplicity. The production brings together four classically trained opera singers from diverse backgrounds to sing a range of musical genres.

The show, which has enthralled audiences at concerts and corporate presentations, infuses humour, drama and style into music for the soul. The group guarantees a riveting performance - proven in the response to their shows so far, with standing ovations and the audience dancing in the aisles.
From light music and authentic opera to African rhythms, the production presents great diversity.
Cohen (tenor), Mmusi (bass-baritone), Mlombi (baritone) and Gwenxane (baritone) have performed extensively locally and internationally . They joined forces in 2009 with a common goal to create unity through music and diversity,
The sound of great voices, coupled with magnetic personalities, incredible rhythms and obvious camaraderie, make Diversity a must-see.
