Honderde feesgangers in ’n stampvol Oudtshoorn Burgersentrum het die Klein Karoo-koue trotseer vir Klein Karoo Klassique se “Galakonsert”.

Postcards het gehore op ’n meesleurende musikale reis geneem en klanklandskappe uit verskillende wêrelddele verken deur die intieme klanke van klarinet, viool, altviool en tjello.

Honderde leerders van skole regoor die Klein Karoo het die wondere van ’n lewendige simfonieorkes beleef tydens “Inleiding tot die orkes”, aangebied deur lede van die Kaapstad Filharmoniese Orkes onder leiding van maestro Richard Cock.

Stay a little longer and discover the stories behind the recitals. After selected performances, Steinway Artist Charl du Plessis welcomes featured artists for relaxed and revealing conversations about their music, inspirations and life on stage.
