BIOGRAPHIES

Guest artists from 29:11 arrived in Minnesota on September 5, 2019 to begin a 4-month music exchange with New Hope International Exchange. This unique musical group embodies all the aspects of a Hope Exchange as these young adults from South Africa have the opportunity to travel to the USA to share their musical talents, culture, and experience. During this tour 29:11 will perform in churches, and participate in workshops and concerts with High School, College/University and adult professional choirs and orchestra including The Minnesota Chorale and Minnesota Orchestra. Musicians and vocalists in the USA are given the opportunity to join with them under the musical direction of NHIE co-founder Brendon Adams.

Additionally, they will present a Cantata, which takes the audience on a diverse musical tour of the history and culture of the indigenous people of South Africa and their Journey to Freedom and Reconciliation. The Cantata, written and directed by 29:11 members, includes original songs from 29:11 as well as South African artists who have used music to protest Apartheid and promote a free and unified South Africa.
