Farewell Concert Honouring Thando Mabuza: A Rising South African Voice Embarks on Global Stage.

B Sharp Music Academy and Roodepoort Theatre are proud to host a farewell concert in honour of Thando Mabuza, a gifted soprano and student at North West University under the directorship of Dr Antoinette Olivier, who has been accepted to pursue her Master’s in Music (Voice) at the prestigious Musikhochschule Lübeck in Germany.

This milestone marks not only Thando’s personal achievement but also a celebration of the collective effort that nurtured her talent from grassroots to international recognition. From her early development under the guidance of Nomthandazo Solomon (Department of Education) and dedicated colleagues, to her artistic growth within B Sharp Music Academy and Gauteng Choristers, Thando’s journey reflects the power of collaboration in shaping South Africa’s cultural future.

The farewell concert will showcase Thando’s artistry alongside fellow musicians, offering audiences a glimpse of the brilliance she will carry onto the global stage. It will also serve as a moment of gratitude — acknowledging the educators, mentors, and institutions that invested in her talent.

Thando’s success is a testament to the importance of nurturing young voices from the earliest stages. Her journey reminds us that when education, community, and artistry converge, excellence follows.
