I am Lecturer in Musicology at Stellenbosch University and hold degrees in music and musicology from the universities of Pretoria, Stellenbosch, and Oxford. My research interests centre on music, violence, decolonial thought, and discourses of apartheid and colonialism. I have published locally and internationally, and am motivated to think, write, and teach at the intersections of music, politics, and those questions that render our present precarious and unequal. My latest publications can be read here, here, and here.

I am a lecturer at Rhodes University’s Department of Music and Musicology. My PhD thesis at Royal Holloway, University of London considered notions of musical modernism in post-apartheid South Africa. My work foregrounds interpretation as a method. I am interested in issues of decoloniality, music and philosophy, and more focused analytical work on the music of South African composers.

Ignatia “Iggy” Madalane holds a BMus degree and an MA in music research from the University of the Witwatersrand with a dissertation titled, “Ximatsatsa: Exploring Genre in Contemporary Tsonga Popular Music.” Her article, ‘Tsonga Popular Music: Negotiating Ethnic identity in ‘Global’ Music Practices’, appears in the Journal of Musical Arts in Africa (2014). ‘From Paul to Penny: The Emergence and Development of Tsonga Disco (1985-1990s)’ is currently (2015) in print with the African Music Journal. Her research interests also include issues of gender and identity in popular music studies.
During her period at Wits, Iggy was the recipient of numerous prizes, awards, and scholarships, including, SAMRO Music bursary, National Arts Council bursary, Anton Hartman Trust bursary, Ellen Daniel Bursary, Abraham and Olga Lipman bursary. In 2007 she was awarded the Wits Residence Life Top Achievers Award.
Between 2010 and 2011, Iggy completed a Music Librarian internship with the SABC. In 2011 she was awarded a certificate for participating in a Tutoring Workshop at Wits. Together with her former colleagues from Wits, Iggy won the Faculty of Humanities Team Teaching award in 2013. Iggy also has a Certificate in Business Practice from Pretoria Technikon (now Tshwane University of Technology).
Iggy currently lectures undergraduate modules in music history and society at the University of South Africa (UNISA). She is also a singer/songwriter, and performer.

Felicia Lesch matriculated from Livingstone High School, and graduated with a BMus (Ed) degree from the University of Cape Town and a MMus from Stellenbosch University respectively. Her teaching career ranges from primary school to teacher training college and includes a long stint at Heathfield High School where she established a strong music department. Whilst in this position, she was responsible for the organisation of numerous outreach activities, including tours and events for music learners throughout South Africa and Namibia. In 2000, at the invitation of the Indonesian government, she travelled to Java in order to study the art of teaching and playing the angklung – an indigenous Indonesian instrument. In addition, she was appointed as Chief Examiner for the Western Cape Education Department Standard Grade written examination (harmony & theory) from 2000-2003. Felicia has always had strong roots in community engagement and since 1999 has been teaching at the Western Cape Music Education Project which was directed by Ronnie Samaai and which she currently manages. She was appointed at the University of Stellenbosch in 2003 and is currently the director of the Certificate Programme, the largest outreach activity in the Department of Music at SU. Under her direction, the Certificate Programme has grown to include satellite campuses, such as the campus at the Army Base in Youngsfield, Wynberg. Several significant community partnerships have also been established with among others, the Elgin Learning Foundation, Mitchell’s Plain Academy of Music and the Arts and the Athlone Academy of Music.

Her involvement at the festival expanded to teaching and later to becoming a member of the selection panel for the National Schools Big Band, which she was selected to conduct in 2009. Her appointment as Lecturer in Community Music signals acknowledgement of the significant contribution of community music to our musical landscape and heralds new directions in research and teaching at the Music Department at Stellenbosch University. Highlights of her achievements at SU include the Rector’s Award for Excellence which she received in 2010 and 2014 and the establishment of Stellenbosch University Jazz band, (category and overall winner of the National Ensemble Competition 2012), which she conducts. She is also a member of the board of Directors of the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra and has served as adjudicator for various competitions, eisteddfodau and cultural festivals which include the Unisa Gr 8 scholarship competition, the Tygerberg International and Kaapse Afrikaanse eisteddfodau, the Cape Malay Choir Competition, the SAMRO Overseas Scholarship Competition and the SAMRO Hubert van der Spuy National Music Competition.

Lizabé Lambrechts is a Volkswagen Stiftung Research Fellow at Stellenbosch University, and the Project Manager for the Hidden Years Music Archive Project (HYMAP) at the Documentation Centre for Music (DOMUS). The Hidden Years Music Archive is one of South Africa‘s most prominent collections of popular music from the late 1950s to the early 2000s that was for the most part not recorded commercially.
Her current research is focused on investigating popular music communities in South Africa through an oral history project of the musicians documented in the HYMAP collection, and extensive archival work that includes sorting and cataloguing the collection. As a curator, she strives to offer dynamic perspectives on the complexities of such collections and her exhibitions and publications reflect on the construction of the archive, memory, music and place in South Africa.
