An Unfinished Symphony | Nobel Peace Prize Shorts
A rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world. I'm going racial divide and posted contents, and this is all. And this is the racial tensions of residents, and Harris divisions are very old.
[Music]
Widespread poverty and clearing, in fact, started a living person in a coffin against his real underclass of kin.
[Music]
I wish that I could change what is happening to my country. I'm a musician, and this is how I translate my ideas and my dreams into this world.
[Music]
I grew up in Soweto, so where to is the largest township in Africa. Growing up into a - there was a lot of poverty, and it still a lot of now. There were few opportunities for me to escape that poverty come around me that suppose my family still living, so it's a no good Hanukkah's all good. My grandmother always wanted to open up a jazz club, but her dreams were never realized because of apartheid. But she had tons of Records. We started rehearsing at like 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. PM PM. The other guys that arrested not a year in the past.
So where to was a horrible place to live in because of the violence that was inflicted on the people that lived in.
[Applause]
And the violence was not just physical violence; poverty itself is inherited violence. What's the picture, grandmother? This is probably 1950s. Yeah, all the girls of their heads shaved, short hair or shifty—that's all. So even for the girls, even for the girls just work from me. I need to pinky to lovey-lovey, was six kilometers where they not allowed to wear shoes or acting money. I think money much of what they had to do back then was a struggle. You see the trauma in them even today. This was exactly '94 in his when the first elections. Yeah, I was counting votes 1984, counting votes. Obviously, that week things changed. The whole country changed, the mood was so even if I be everywhere.
[Music]
I was very lucky with the childhood that I had. I grew up with privileges that many others didn't have. I first discovered music from a very, very young age as my mom is the pianist. Now I absolutely love music; it's a big passion of mine. You know who you're not bye-bye. Welcomers on the instrument, they just forces little he said cars unstuck. I serve the say that Austin and I were ahead foresters escena de insula sealed by Austin who addresses.
I honestly believe that music can bring people together. Music is a universal language. Progression to be honest, my close friends are the same races as me. I don't think it's something that's intentionally done. We are friends along racial lines, and that's why we still have segregationist cities.
[Music]
I think when people are not integrated, it can definitely, definitely lead to prejudices between the races because you don't really know those people, and you don't understand them. As we can see from history, prejudice leads to inequality, and this is a fact that we cannot dispute. South Africa is still one of the most unequal societies in the world.
[Music]
The majority of our country's population is very, very well. Thank you, Father, for futsal at the phones for citrus. Most part of the owner I finally in from for breathalyzer the sewer boy eloquence at the very 1717 knee. Well, yeah, Miyagi 17 October October mmm. So it would be the whole team that went for the toe. Oh, that is awesome! Yeah, that whole Orchestra Antonio Cape Town Prefontaine margin every London see from biology. But think is stone 810 color, yes, though a libretto means that Bonagora produces. What do you listen to come this in green Quezada in Auckland, an orchestra? The kids at home local John walks of life, baby look, and anyway, one guide suits.
[Music]
I heard about the orchestra quite a few years ago, and I heard that they went on tour. Going to Europe has been a dream of mine for a very really long time. Yeah, t-men guitar Caillou began to do it. I was lucky to go to a school that had some classical instruments. I was introduced to the channel, and it was love at first sight. Very few people had this opportunity in Soviet.
[Music]
The cello changed everything. The orchestras in South Africa have always been dominated by white musicians, and I never imagined myself being part of one. To be really honest, when I went to the orchestra, it was possibly the first time I'd been in a space where there were really a lot of people from really different backgrounds. I think this orchestra is very, very special. Okay, so let's go back to the beginning. I thought there's a lot of a lot of the things, a lot of good things from yesterday. Thank you. I think we can do this now and keep going. One, two.
[Music]
So where there's not where this crescendo starts, four bars before, in my opinion, I think the members of an orchestra have to be friends to make it work. All right, thank you, thank you, thank you. Fifteen minutes if you have that bond with your fellow musicians, and you were all making the same music together, it's much easier to achieve that goal of creating a really good performance. Have you ever heard this music? So mentor number five! Remember you need to be dressed up as a crowd. It's when you start knowing each other, then the fears of who you are and assumptions disappear.
This is Soweto. This whole table I feel almost right in the center. Oh really? My great-great-grandmother was born in swordsman like 1907. When they moved to Soweto, you could actually see a bit of her antelopes. I mean, if you go now, you can see when we want to break racial lines, you must engage each other beyond a group of people. Go for the individual. I mean, and see how we work together, see the energy between us, and how there's love.
Yeah, unfortunately, it's incredibly hard to get funding for the orchestra. There are people who don't want the situation in this country to change.
[Music]
My biggest worry for South Africa is that we lose all this positive energy that we had in 1994 after the elections—the collective spirit of ending an injustice system. South Africa is in the crossroads where even Mandela's legacy is disputed.
[Music]
This rainbow nation might just be alive.
[Music]
I'm a musician, you know? I'm trying to positively change my country through music.
[Music]
[Music]
Sometimes you never saw if people actually will come to the concert. Whenever we have these concerts, I never know. You know if we can have the same opportunity again. Yeah, I have nervous.
[Music]
It still is below. I initially joined the orchestra because I've always wanted to go to Europe, but I think what I got from it, it's so much more. The Miyagi Orchestra has absolutely changed everything for me; it has grown beyond music.
[Applause]
[Applause]
[Music]
When people come together and they really try and work these out and they have hope, then that is when this country will change.
[Music]
Music, in essence, is a collectible. Every voice is equal, and the voice should be unhappy.
[Music]
Tolerance is not enough. We need to really love each other to become just one stop.
[Music]
[Music]
[Applause]
There is no is the road to freedom; none of us catching alone. Thank You, chief.
