Celebrating Bheki Mseleku’s Musical Legacy
Bheki Mseleku was a towering figure in South African music, known for his profound influence and unique compositions. Gareth Lockrane, a virtuoso flautist, collaborated with Mseleku in the UK during the latter’s final years. Lockrane took on the role of band coordinator, notating Mseleku’s compositions for performance.
Following Mseleku’s passing, Lockrane has dedicated himself to preserving and sharing these works. He has previously staged shows in the UK, showcasing unreleased compositions that highlight Mseleku’s genius.
First Performance of Unreleased Works in South Africa
This upcoming concert marks a significant moment as it will be the first time Mseleku’s unreleased songs are performed in South Africa, his homeland. The event aims to celebrate his contributions to music and introduce his lesser-known works to a local audience.
