Prof Karendra Devroop, a renowned jazz saxophonist and pianist as well as an experienced academic, joined the Tshwane University of Technology’s Faculty of Arts and Design in April as Professor in the Department of Performing Arts. In an interview, Prof Devroop said that in coming to TUT he was fully aware of the remarkable impact that the Faculty has had on the artistic sector in South Africa, and that its greatest strength lies in the fact that all departments are closely linked on one campus, making collaboration and a fully rounded arts education a possibility for students.
