State of the Nation Book Launch

The Vice-Chancellor and Principal, Prof Francis Petersen, invites you to attend the upcoming book launch of State of the Nation: Quality of Life and Wellbeing.

Celebrating its 20th year of existence, this HSRC flagship publication serves as an invaluable, independent scholarly resource offering insights into the current state of South Africa. The theme of the 2024 edition, Quality of Life and Wellbeing, underscores the commitment to understanding and addressing critical societal issues. Edited by Profs Vasu Reddy, Narnia Bohler-Muller, Zitha Mokomane, and Crain Soudien, this edition builds on the preceding editions, focusing on HSRC priorities of poverty and inequality in novel and relevant ways.

During the launch, UFS scholars and editors will hold an interactive session and panel discussion; we look forward to your participation, which will help to enrich the conversations.

A Symphonic Festival
1 November 2008
Odeion
19:30

The debut concert of the new Free State Wind Ensemble will take place on 1 November at 19:30 in the Odeion. The Ensemble was put together by Wesley Wong and Lisa Solomon in an attempt to provide an opportunity to wind instrument players to play in different music genres. The music is exciting and very entertaining, including works such as Danse Celestiale by Robert W Smith and A Leroy Anderson Portrait.

The concert will also feature items by the NIHE Wind Ensemble from Kimberley (conductor: Mervyn Solomon) and a combined work with Voices Inc. student chamber choir.

Tickets are R30 (adults) and R20 (students) and will be available at the door.
