Ensemble Masana

WITH Mareli Stolp (piano), Rikus Coetsee (saxophone) and Handri Loots (flute)

Ensemble Masana was established in June 2023 by Mareli Stolp (piano), Rikus Coetsee (saxophone) and Handri Loots (flute). All seasoned chamber musicians, the members of this trio have been performing regularly across South Africa and abroad and are now embarking on a combined musical journey as Masana, the Tsonga term for “sunshine”. They present a varied programme of music by international and South African composers, showcasing the wide range of possibilities for all three instruments in duo and trio format. The recital is followed by a free music discussion with the artists upstairs in the Banqueting Hall.
