Polyphonia Orchestra : This multi-ethnic musical group’s home is the French island of La Réunion in the Indian Ocean and its members are representative of the great variety of cultures in the French overseas territories. The aim of their tour is to meet and exchange with South Africans through the medium of music and to convey a message of peace to all multi racial countries.
POLYPHONIA has 48 young musicians, ranging in age from 11 to 25, under the direction of Pierre Varo, principal of Saint Andre School of Music and Dance in Reunion Island. The orchestra features accordions, accompanied by violins, flutes, clarinets, saxophones, trumpets, keyboard and vocals. Its extensive repertoire includes classical music and jazz, film scores, and folk music from La Réunion.
Founded in 1986, POLYPHONIA has made numerous world tours and deservedly won competitions in France, New Zealand and Australia. In both 1991 and 1993 the orchestra participated in the famous international musical Eistedfood in Roodepoort, Johannesburg. POLYPHONIA won the highest award of the competition in 1993, a first for a multi-racial orchestra at that time.
