In 1998 Ndodana-Breen was the first Black classical composer to be awarded the prestigious Standard Bank Young Artist Award for Music, by the National Arts Festival and sponsored by Standard Bank of South Africa.
He was one of Mail & Guardian 200 Young South Africans and was profiled on CNN African Voices for his work Harmonia Ubuntu commissioned for the centenary of Nelson Mandela and based on his writings and speeches.
He is a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard University for the 2019/2020 academic year.
Dr. Ndodana-Breen's music is a blend of African and classical styles.
