Ensemble Masana was established in 2023 by Mareli Stolp (piano), Rikus Coetsee (saxophone), and Handri Loots (flute). All seasoned chamber musicians, the trio performs regularly across South Africa and abroad. Their combined musical journey is Ensemble Masana, the Tsonga term for “sunshine”. They present a varied programme of music by French, American, British, and South African composers, showcasing the wide range of possibilities for all three instruments in duo, solo, and trio formats.
