Welcome to our September Newsletter. In this issue, we have the latest information for our forthcoming Indaba and AGM; announcement about our Official Submission to the ISCM World Music Days; details of competitions as well as the usual reminder of opportunities.

As always, do let me know of any newsworthy items, for the next issue, that would help you to publicise your events in or after November 2018. Likewise, if you hear of any composers’ or performers’ opportunities, just send an email to me at malcolmdedman@gmail.com.


NMSA Indaba 2018

Plans for our Indaba are well under way. It will take place in Nelson Mandela University, South Campus in Port Elizabeth from Friday 5 to Sunday 7 October. We would love to see as many of you as possible attend this, our main event of the year.

We have three evening concerts and an informal student concert plus many talks and discussions planned. To see the complete programme, please download here for the latest edition.
