Nduduzo Makhathini - Inner Dimensions Collective

Pianist, healer and composer Nduduzo Makhathini has been hailed as a leading light for the current generation of South African jazz. Winner of the Standard Bank Young Jazz Artist of the Year award in 2015, Makhatini has been described by leading jazz critic Percy Mabandu as playing with “a bright lyricism and a full sound pallet that gives him a markedly wide melodic vocabulary". Makhathini's unique style, which has a markedly spiritual focus, has seen him compared with late jazz pianist greats such as Bheki Mseleku.

Embarking on their first Southern African tour, Makhathini brings his award-winning project Inner Dimensions to The Orbit stage. Founded at Switzerland’s Musikerwohnhaus in 2016, Inner Dimensions brings together leading Swiss and South African musicians including award-winning Swiss drummer Dominic Egli.
