Kinshasa Symphony Orchestra Live - 16.09.14
Presented by Afrika Eye Film Festival, in partnership with Colston Hall and Watershed.
The story of the Orchestra Symphonique Kimbanguiste and their choir from the Democratic Republic of Congo is miraculous and uplifting. Against the most extraordinary odds, in a country known for its extreme poverty and violence, conductor Armand Diangienda has proved that music can provide hope and inspiration.
The live performance is a concert of orchestral and choral music in collaboration with musicians from London Southbank Centre’s resident and associate orchestras, and from Bristol, members of Bristol Choral Society.
