Tour #3 a roaring success!

KMA’s third tour abroad took place in June 2024 in Germany for a 2-week visit which culminated in 10 performances in 8 cities. It was the experience of a life-time for our KMA pupils and in the words of 14 year old Imange Mantambo, “When I started playing on the tour I was shy to solo and I didn’t even want to make eye contact with Ms Dwyn in case she made me play so I would just look at my music; But then I looked at you, Ms Dwyn, by mistake and I didn’t mean to and you told me to solo; then you cheered me on and that boosted my confidence and my solo; I started to do stuff I didn’t know I could do… I have motivated myself on this tour and my self-confidence is growing. If I think about doing something I find I can do it Music is really healing; It’s always there, day after day.”

We would like to say a huge thank you to Dodo, Celine and Tina from Community HEART and Exile e.v for facilitating this wonderful opportunity, and to the Goethe Institute for sponsoring the tour.
