POWER. THAT IS THE WORD that comes to mind, as Pitse walks on to the set with her conducting baton for the photoshoot for this feature. Hailed the youngest African woman orchestra owner, conductor, classical music arranger, producer, musician, and curator of intimate musically inspired/influenced spaces and experiences, it’s not difficult to see why. However, this has not come easy.

“You've seen me, I'm quite tiny,” Pitse laughs. “You get into this industry where (big men) and they've been in the industry and the business for so long. So the question you always get is ‘What are you doing here?’ There's always that thing where I have to prove myself more than I should, and I always have to walk on stage or into spaces, or even at just rehearsals, being over-prepared.”
