World Religions in Concert

World Religions in Concert

Date: 2015-10-16
A multiple celebration will be enjoyed as the sun sets on Monday 9 November at the Denis Hurley Centre / Emmanuel Cathedral in the heart of Durban, in the form of a spectacular interfaith concert featuring the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra and guest soloists to commemorate the centenary of Hurley's birth and rejoice in the formal opening of the Denis Hurley Centre (DHC).

A one-off spectacular interfaith concert has been created especially for the auspicious event taking place on the actual day of the centenary of Hurley's birth: 9 November 1915. The concert will be held in Emmanuel Cathedral. Only 800 people will be able to experience this unique, historic event. A full programme of supporting events will take place in the Denis Hurley Centre and Emmanuel Cathedral over the celebration weekend.

The concert has been thoughtfully created to commemorate Hurley's legacy, to celebrate the opening of the DHC and to demonstrate the role of the faith communities in working together on this project.

The concert begins as the sun sets with the traditional sunset call to prayer from the neighboring Juma Mosque; with a response from the church bells; followed by Buddhist and Zulu drums and orchestral pieces of Jewish and Hindu music; Muslim chanting and Christian and African choral pieces will all combine to show the richness of Durban's musical and religious heritage.

Join the 800 people who will experience this unique event. Safe, guarded parking is provided. General tickets at R130 are available now through Computicket outlets, telephonically at 0861 915 8000, or online at https://www.computicket.com; and also from select parishes.
