The special gala concert as part of the inauguration of the Rector and Vice-Chancellor of the University of the Free State, Prof. Jonathan Jansen, was also a celebration of the diversity and harmony. Concert goers could feast on music covering centuries, genres and continents. In the early part of the programme early and classical and contemporary music were presented and in the second half concert goers could acquaint themselves with indigenous African music and jazz.
