Kronendal Music Academy’s Jazz Band has been invited to play in the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival next month and is raising funds on the crowd-funding platform BackaBuddy. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these 10 talented young musicians who all come from low-income households. KMA is a non-profit organisation that gives free music lessons, instruments, ensemble playing and much needed lunches to children from Imizamo Yethu and Hangberg. In its 12th year now, KMA has more than 180 pupils walking through its doors weekly.
