campus project: This year's commission went to a young saxophonist and composer from South Africa, Tshepo Tsotetsi, and his composition Birth of Change for vocals and orchestra is given its world premiere in Bonn on September 12, with a repeat performance in Berlin the following day, according to Deutsche Welle. In a spirit of bilateralism, the piece is performed by a well-known six-member male vocal ensemble from South Africa named Just 6, joined by six female singers from Germany in the group Sjaella. That happens as part of the Campus Project, a collaborative effort of the broadcaster and the Beethovenfest. Two vocal soloists and the National Youth Orchestra of Germany round out the lineup of performers. Telling the stories of today and having fun are two things Tsotetsi feels the world needs more of Deutsche Welle Could you describe the process of turning your musical notation into a real, live performance Tshepo Tsotetsi I've been working on this piece for months now, and it has been just me and the computer in a dark little room. We spoke with Tshepo Tsotetsi during rehearsals, just as his piece was making the transition from the score to actual sound.
