A Concert for Water 2026
19 Apr 2026 SAST (+02:00)
Nirox Sculpture Park
Details
Concluding the Soil & Water multimedia arts project examining the delicate balance of interconnected ecologies through the creativity of artists from across the globe, A Concert for Water reflects on the urgencies and shared entanglements which connect, sustain and exult us through water - essential for life on earth and source of transcendental beauty.
Musically curated by DJ Bob, artists present a programme selected and composed for the concert, with the NIROX’ resident grand piano in the amphitheatre overlooking meandering waterways.
Featured artists:
- Paul Hanmer
- Thandi Ntuli’s “Rainbow Revisited”
- Yonela Mnana’s “3quency”(Soultee Sisters, Gontse Makhene, Lebo Ledwaba)
- Featuring Hymn_self (Siyabonga Mthembu, Solethu Madasa, Vuyo Viwe)
- Phillippa Yaa De Villiers, Stompie Selibe, The Cradle Crew
Hosted by Pule, immersing guests in the folklore, traditions and significance of our shared cultures.
Join as we celebrate water’s nourishing force, binding ecosystems and communities, synchronising our souls with infinite flow.
The world faces a critical moment, realising that challenges of contaminated and scarce water must be met with empathy and cooperation between public and private actors.
A Concert For Water is a call to awaken and inspire collective goodwill in service of a better future.
