Kronendal Music Academy Benefit Concert.
Join us at the Baxter Theatre for a benefit concert to save Kronendal Music Academy from closing. After 20 years transforming young lives through music, KMA needs your support to rebuild and reopen. An evening of music, hope and community.

What began with just 15 pupils in 2007 has grown into a multi-award winning programme reaching well over 200 children a year, nurturing their mental, emotional, and cognitive wellbeing through music, psycho-social support and school tutors. After unexpectedly losing a major donor at the end of 2025, KMA suffered unprecedented setbacks in 2026 that crippled their fundraising, and in July, the academy took the heartbreaking decision to suspend activities just to stay afloat. This benefit concert marks our turning point.

Their internationally acclaimed Jazz Band, award-winning African Instruments Ensemble, and Mass Choir will take you on a journey from teacher to pupil, showcasing the talent KMA has nurtured over two decades. Through pledges and donations, this concert aims to raise the funds they need to sustain their work for the next six months and get them back on their feet.

Help carry KMA’s legacy into its next 20 years.

In partnership with UCT’s SACM.
