On the 28 September the UJ Arts & Culture are proud to partner with the trio Breathe for their \u201chomecoming\u201d launch performance of The Journey at the Art Centre Theatre on the University of Johannesburg\u2019s Kingsway Campus.<\/p>\n
The Journey takes the audience through the Breathe trio: Sandile Mcunu, Gabisile Nkosi and Sizwe Mondlane\u2019s personal, spiritual and musical discovery and is merges a world of genres into a unified sound of heartfelt music.<\/p>\n
Mcunu, Nkosi and Mondlane are all from Mpumalanga although they only met each other in 2014 when they joined the UJ Choir in 2014. Together they formed a trio called Benedictus and their musical journey began. As Benedictus they performed alongside various artists and at many different events, growing their repertoire and developing an immense sleeve of program-variation, culture and genre-crossing.<\/p>\n
After four years of self-discovery the trio have rebranded themselves to better encapsulate the to the feeling one gets when listening to the trio and to encompass the merging of music worlds.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have really taken our music and performance to the next level in these four years, it has a deep global feel now, something we are very proud of \u201d says Mondlane.<\/p>\n
This special launch performance takes place at 18:00 and will take audiences on a soul-lifting journey.<\/p>\n
