The University of Pretoria Music Festival (UPMF) serves a dual purpose: it provides exciting
performances by renowned and upcoming musicians while also offering a training platform
for many of South Africa’s most talented young classical and jazz musicians. During the
festival, students and audience members are immersed in a week of inspiring music, while
interacting in world-class lectures, masterclasses, and workshops with visiting guest artists
and the UP music staff.

Now, in its fifth year, the festival welcomes six of South Africa’s most renowned musicians to
present concerts, masterclasses, and workshops. Guests include Farida Bacharova,
Karendra Devroop, José Dias, Mario Nell, Nina Schumann, and Liesl Stoltz. We are also
excited to host Ned Ginsburg from the USA.
Entrance to all events is free of charge, and everyone is welcome!
We look forward to welcoming you to this thrilling week of music!
