Tian Jiang will not only play classical pieces, but also, for the first time, some of his own compositions which he will perform together with Zolani Mahola in tribute to the rhino.
The concert is not only raising awareness about the scourge of rhino poaching, but the artists and participants are also creating a platform for an apology from humankind to the animals that have been violated.
"The concert allows people the freedom to create their own impressions without having to resort to graphic and often disturbing images," said Fabrice Orengo de Lamazière of Motswari Game Reserve, who, together with Newmark Hotels & Lodges, is heading up the project.
Attending the concert, there will also be dignitaries from across the globe, as well as local rhino ambassadors, such as artist Beezy Bailey, Barend Dewet, Marion Geiger and Andre van der Merwe, whose installation, Rhinosaur, is currently a much-talked-about feature on the Sea Point promenade in Cape Town.
Rhino Disharmony has united artists around the world with the aim that they may use their art to arrest people's attention about what's happening to the rhinos in South Africa and on the African continent. Rhino Disharmony works with the other fundraising organisations to raise awareness, but especially it is founded on the fact that art, music and performance can dig deeper into people's awareness and perhaps even initiate a shift in thinking and perception.
