Duke Ellington’s Sacred Concerts come to Harare
This weekend, Zimbabwean diva Prudence Katomeni-Mbofana, backed by the fifty-strong Zimbabwe College of Music Choir, will attempt to do something that has rarely been done in Africa, let alone in the world- Perform one of Duke Ellington’s Sacred Concerts.
Because of the scale of the music and the sheer number of artists needed to execute each work, Ellington’s sacred concerts have rarely been performed in the 30 years since his death in 1974.
