On 21 November laureates of the SAMRO Overseas Scholarships Competitions will be performing together as part of the World Jazz Conference. The band will comprise Linda Sikhakhane, Ntando Ngcapu, Keorapetse Kolwane and Daniëlla Hart.

The SAMRO Foundation’s Managing Director, André Le Roux, has left the organisation after fourteen years at the helm. SAMRO Group has also announced the appointment of a new SAMRO Foundation Board, and, in alignment with a new mandate to be more member-centric, refined the Foundation’s cultural funding allocation.
