The British Cultural & Heritage Association invites anyone who can read and play music to join Music en Masse 2026 for a concert described as “the biggest orchestra ever seen in Durban”.

It is a participative and fun orchestral concert which aims to bring together musicians.

“We are delighted to be able to prove a unique afternoon function for the entertainment of
Durban residents, which contributes to the development of the arts in KZN by making the
concert a participative afternoon of support for all musicians and in so doing, stimulating
an interest in and an enthusiasm for orchestral music in Durban,” shared co-ordinator Cheri Steenberg.

The concert has reportedly become an annual event – part of Durban’s musical calendar – featuring a public performance by a massed orchestra, under the baton of Russell Scott, which aims to serve the interests of the arts, culture and musical education in Durban.

The organisers are looking for participants to join in.

The concert will take place in the DLI Hall in Greyville on Sunday, September 13 at 14:30, and features a varied programme of orchestral favourites and eclectic musical numbers.
