Saturday afternoon members of the Khulanathi ensemble took the center stage at Rotary District 9300's annual Heritage Day celebration. Khulanathi wowed the audience with their musical talent and superb solos as they treated us all to two wonderful sets. For many of the young musicians this was their first time to shine as only 15 of the 30 member ensemble were able to attend due to prior obligations. The event kicked off just before noon and continued though the middle of the afternoon. We used this opportunity to promote our fundraising efforts and to share Khulanathi's talent with the Johannesburg Rotary community. Khulanathi shared the stage with a number of other talented young people including poets as well as gum-boot and township dancers.
As you may or may not already know we are running the Soweto Marathon November 1st to raise money and awareness for the Khulanathi Music Project. For more information about Khulanathi and our fundraising efforts visit: http://khulanathi.wordpress.com
All in all, it was a very pleasant afternoon. The performers enjoyed the opportunity to showcase their talents and we enjoyed the show. We'll have some photos up soon for your viewing pleasure.
