Collaborations allow us to embrace our differences; allowing cultures to truly benefit, influence and create through each other – producing art that is invested in the movement of the times.
Vektor is focussed on producing and creating new concert, theatre and album-based projects that helps artists explore new genres of contemporary art relevant to South Africa. To help these albums and productions reach a larger audience, we serve as a platform that showcases the publications of artists.
PIETER BEZUIDENHOUT (Director)
“The voice is my voice, the song is my song, a hymn from the land to which I belong. Listen…do you hear it…for I am the voice of Africa” – Lindsey Reyburn
Award winning conductor and composer Pieter Bezuidenhout is one of South Africa’s most prominent young composers and conductors; bridging the gap between the older and the younger generation of musicians. The Beeld newspaper writes that “Bezuidenhout seemingly composes without any baggage of the past, in a context where music is often restricted by it”.
He has received awards in composition from the European Academy of Choral Conductors for his choral work Stardance and recently the Stefans Grové International Composition Competition Award in 2015 as well as in 2017; for his works Huis van die Dowes for Soprano and Piano and The Blue Lady Sonata for Clarinet and piano. Bezuidenhout is regularly commissioned locally as well as internationally to write works for ensembles ranging from instrumental chamber groups to festival choirs. His works have been performed most recently in Graz, Washington, Munich, Bratislava, Istanbul, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore and by the Choir of the Music Conservatory in the Canary Islands to great acclaim.
As well as being a professional conductor, He is also a passionate pedagogue and is regularly invited to give lectures and workshops on music from South Africa. Most recently he was invited to give seminars at the EuropCantat in Talinn, Estonia in 2018 and at the Chor.com in Hannover, Germany in August 2019. Bezuidenhout’s music is published internationally by Helbling Chormusik online.
