MIAGI Orchestra

On 27th April, 2026, Our MIAGI Orchestra had the honour of presenting the final concert of the brand new festival, Podium Zukunft at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt.

I think, we, the entire MIAGI team - everybody who brought their part - can say: we did it!

grateful is the only thing that comes into our mind for now......more later!!

Since our inception in 2001 MIAGI developed its brand around the uniting of music genres; Western classical, jazz and ancient indigenous/traditional (African classical) and the many vibrant urban South African music styles that developed from the1940/50s until today.

In this process, we developed our very fine orchestra, the MIAGI Orchestra playing music representing all the above mentioned genres with an eclectic result. The orchestra has embarked on seven international, extensive tours and has made a name for itself in some of the major music centres in the world.

Throughout the years, we have offered our young members a vast range of opportunities; education, mentoring, horizon broadening international collaborations and tours, once in a life time opportunities and career promoting projects.
