Deputy vice-chancellor Professor Thandabantu Nhlapo welcomed three visiting musicians from the University of Michigan at a function on 2 September.

During their 10-day stay at UCT, the visitors conducted workshops, master classes and concert lectures for students at the South African College of Music.

"We're honoured to have such high-profile musicians in our midst," said Nhlapo. "Ten days is a short time, so we hope we can encourage you to come again soon for a longer visit."
