Footnotes

"This album is a silent pause to support those who, like the Cape Town Opera and Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra, have been silenced by the pandemic.

It stands in solidarity with the artists around the world who face being silenced whether that be because of Covid, or conflict, or censorship, or loss of funding.

It represents the power of the arts to move us. What will be lost if they are silenced. And the opportunity to work together to save them from this fate."
