The Orchestre Symphonique Kimbanguiste (OSK), or Kimbanguist Symphony Orchestra, is a Congolese orchestra based in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. For many years, the OSK was the only orchestra known to reside in Central Africa,[1] though in recent times, the Kaposoka Orchestra began performing in Angola.[2] It was the world's only all-black orchestra.[3] HistoryConductor Armand Diangienda founded the orchestra in 1994 after losing his job as an airline pilot, naming it after his grandfather, religious leader Simon Kimbangu.[4] At its conception, the group had only twelve amateur musicians that shared instruments and often used common materials as makeshift instrument parts. The group eventually grew to the size of about 200 amateur musicians and performers consisting of a full orchestra and choir. The orchestra gained international attention when German filmmakers Martin Baer and Claus Wischmann created the documentary Kinshasa Symphony (2010) depicting the plight of the orchestra and its members in poverty stricken Kinshasa.[5] In May 2013 it was announced that Diangienda was to become an honorary member of the Royal Philharmonic Society, an award previously bestowed on such famous musicians as Mendelssohn, Rossini, Wagner, Brahms and Stravinsky.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|last=Schmitter |first=Elke |url=http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,719276,00.html |title=Central Africa's Only Orchestra: Playing Beethoven in Kinshasa|publisher=Spiegel Online|accessdate=April 18, 2012}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.portalangop.co.ao/angola/en_us/noticias/lazer-e-cultura/2015/4/22/Angola-Kaposoka-Orchestra-performs-Show-the-Month,15bf6007-c9f5-475d-bcc7-354c5a753e88.html|title=Angola: Kaposoka Orchestra performs at "Show of the Month"|publisher=ANGOP|accessdate=17 September 2015}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/may/09/scratch-orchestra-of-kinshasa-congo |title=The scratch orchestra of Kinshasa |author=Andy Morgan |publisher=The Guardian |date=9 May 2013 |accessdate=10 May 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web|last=Tsioulcas |first=Anastasia |url=https://www.npr.org/blogs/deceptivecadence/2012/03/06/148075689/kinshasa-symphony-an-ode-to-musical-joy-in-central-africa |title='Kinshasa Symphony': An Ode To Musical Joy In Central Africa|publisher=NPR|accessdate=April 18, 2012}} 5. ^{{cite web|last=Morgan |first=Frances |url=http://soundandmusic.org/features/sound-film/films-sound-kinshasa-symphony |title=Films on sound: Kinshasa Symphony|publisher=Sound and Music|accessdate=April 18, 2012}} External links
