In 2022, Mrubata collaborated with a few members of COMPO during his double album launch for the Strings Attached Project at Artscape, further strengthening their artistic connection.

Desmond Solomon, COMPO’s director and conductor, expressed their humility, stating, “We are honored to have the esteemed McCoy Mrubata inviting us to stage this one-of-a-kind concert. From humble beginnings, we have been steadily making our mark in grand arenas, and we can confidently say that our journey holds great promise.”

COMPO boasts two branches—one in Cape Town and the other in Johannesburg. In 2022, the Cape Town branch staged concerts at Soweto Theatre and Javett Arts Centre in Pretoria, collaborating with the Johannesburg branch and the Soweto Orchestra (SSM) to celebrate Mandela Month.
