Nurturing young black musicians in Soweto
Buskaid is a charitable music organisation based in Diepkloof, a suburb of the South African township of Soweto.
Our vision is that all children should be given the opportunity to channel their creative energies and enhance their academic abilities through the learning and playing of classical music.
Our mission is to offer string tuition of the highest international standards to local children from current and previously disadvantaged backgrounds.
Buskaid is also committed to creating employment opportunities for all its students, as performers, teachers, and stringed instrument repairers.

Over the past few weeks there has been great excitement at the music school, as rehearsals for this concert have begun in earnest. All the students, together with their teachers, will be performing a wide range of repertoire, including some very funky, upbeat new arrangements of music for the Festive Season. And we are especially proud to show off the remarkable progress of our delightful new beginner groups!
We are very much hoping that you will be able to join us to celebrate the achievements of all our students and their dedicated young teachers.
Every Buskaid student from the Junior, Intermediate and Senior Ensembles will be performing, and sharing the joy of making music together. And there will be plenty of opportunities for you, our Buskaid guests, to join in the musical celebrations!
