A Musical Encounter You’ll Never Forget: Mandisi Dyantyis and Symphony Orchestra Set to Enthrall SA
There are few voices that move a room quite like Mandisi Dyantyis. There are even fewer artists who can sell out a venue not just once, but again and again, leaving audiences breathless, emotional, and somehow craving more from an artist who gave them everything. This July, Mandisi Dyantyis returns with his most ambitious live experience yet: “Symphonic Celebration”, a transcendent orchestral collaboration that promises to etch itself into South Africa’s musical memory.
In a limited run that spans just three nights only, Mandisi Dyantyis will take to the stage with a full symphony orchestra lifting his already powerful compositions into a realm of majesty and magnificence.
Cape Town, your chance arrives first. On the 11th and 12th of July 2025, the beloved Artscape Opera House will host two nights of sonic splendour, brought to life by the acclaimed Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra. A 65-piece ensemble will breathe new dimension into Mandisi Dyantyis’ revered works: from fan favourites off Cwaka and Somandla, to the soul-stirring new material from his highly anticipated project Intlambululu. The last time he graced this stage, the show was for the history books. It sold out. This will too.

Then, for one special night only on the 19th of July 2025, Johannesburg audiences will be treated to an extraordinary performance at Emperors Palace Centre Court. In partnership with Real Wired Music and Emperors Palace, Mandisi’s Johannesburg chapter of “Symphonic Celebration” will see him joined by a 50-piece orchestra, as he brings his voice, band, and soul to a grand stage that has become synonymous with his sold-out legacies.
