RUS NERWICH AND THE COLLECTIVE IMAGINATION

TONES OF NOTE PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS RUS NERWICH AND THE COLLECTIVE IMAGINATION: ONCE-OFF CONCERT AT THE SABC AUDITORIUM SEA POINT

Rus Nerwich and Tones of Note Productions are proud to present a one-night only concert at the SABC Auditorium 209 Beach Road Seapoint, Cape Town. Nerwich and The Collective Imagination will be performing compositions from three previous album releases, namely Mantras for Modern Man and Beyond the Walls as well as newly composed works written specially for this occasion.


The Collective Imagination features an all-star line-up:
Rus Nerwich on Saxophone
Lee Thomson – Trumpet
Ross McDonald – Trombone
Mark Fransman – Piano
Dave Ledbetter – Guitar
Wesley Rustin – Bass
Kevin Gibson – Drums
Ronan Skillen on Tabla and Percussion

Nerwich’s Mantras for Modern Man and Beyond the Walls will be featured. Mantras is an eclectic fusion of world music, jazz, and Nerwich’s semitic traditional influences, coming together in an enigmatic sound, that is inspiring, transporting and esoteric in nature. The concert will also feature music from Nerwich’s critically acclaimed album, Beyond the Walls; a historical recording exploring music written in the ghettos of wartime Europe. The album was recognised as one of the most significant and original projects to have come out of the South African music landscape in recent years.

After the recent release of Under the Poetree, a fusion of Jazz, hip-hop and soul, which garnered Nerwich two SAMA award nominations, this performance repositions Nerwich as one of the most innovative and prolific musicians in the country, continuing to delve into the more serious and adventurous dimensions of his musical persona.


The concert takes place at 19h30 on June 18 at the SABC Auditorium, 209 Beach Road, Sea Point. A R50 ticket price is payable at the door. Specially commissioned Double CD packs of Mantras for Modern Man can be bought for R100 at the event. For pre-booked tickets, please contact:
