In Imperfect Harmony, conductor Kutlwano Masote reflects on a life lived between music and family. From the orchestra pit to the heart of his home, Masote shares an honest, deeply personal story of love, loss, addiction, and redemption. This lyrical memoir captures the symphony of being human — where discord and harmony coexist, and life’s imperfections become its truest melody.
Imperfect Harmony
Imperfect Harmony is a powerful memoir which invites you to explore Kutlwano Masote’s life journey from the point of his boyhood until now, as he has lived his life with a musical baton in one hand, and his dedication to his family in the other. In this way, Imperfect Harmony goes beyond the story of music.
Page by page, he pulls back the curtain to show us who he is entirely. Navigating the intimate crescendos and quiet interludes of fatherhood, marriage, alcohol addiction, friendship, and music, we are reminded that no journey is without faults. And in many ways, Masote affirms the knowledge that as much as music has discords, so does life.
It is a melodic harmony, but it is equally an imperfect one.
This is a story of music, love, family, dedication, harmony, dissonance and what it truly means to experience the imperfect harmony of life.
