Gazza goes Symphonic 2023
in a concert of hope
On June 2nd and 3rd of 2023, something extraordinary was occurring at the National Theater in Windhoek, Namibia. Internationally renowned artist Gazza was teaming up with the Namibian National Symphony Orchestra to bring together a variety of music genres. Special arrangements have been made for this exclusive event, merging Gazza's music with the orchestra, with the artist himself performing live.
For many years, Mr. Alexander Fokkens has been our principal conductor, and he brought a group of talented young musicians from the Alabama School of Fine Art in the USA with him! There were so many amazing musicians joining him!
Osmond Owoseb, an incredibly gifted Namibian composer, featured in the program with his choir, "Vocal Reflections". On stage were a grand total of 120 musicians, including a symphony orchestra, choir, band, and vocalists.
The event was a "black tie" event, with champagne, wine and whisky tasting before the show and a photo boot where Gazza was available after the concerts for pictures with his fans.
