Quattro Fusion Tour of Africa
Standard Bank's Young Artist award winners for 2010, Melanie Scholtz and Samson Diamond, will be touring several African countries between 2 and 8 October, 2010.
The Quattro Fusion tour will see the combination of the musical talents of jazz winner, Scholtz, and classical music winner, violinist Diamond, with fellow South African musicians, pianist Melvin Peters and percussionist Godfrey Mcgina.
The programme of fusion of African and classical rhythms from the quartet will include the works of Bach, Gershwin, Abdullah Ibrahim and Miriam Makeba.
The tour begins in Ghana on 2 October, travelling to Nigeria and Kenya with public performances to be held in Accra, Lagos and Nairobi.
The Standard Bank Young Artist Awards are granted annually to emerging young South African artists who have demonstrated exceptional ability in their chosen fields.
