Heimwee is a heartfelt tribute to the extraordinary legacy of Mimi Coertse, celebrating the voice, artistry, and cultural impact of one of South Africa’s most beloved sopranos. This concert brings together a carefully curated selection of iconic works from her repertoire – cherished songs and arias audiences most closely associate with her illustrious career, as reflected in her recordings and enduring public memory. The programme weaves seamlessly between Afrikaans art songs, opera, and operetta, showcasing the remarkable breadth of her artistry and the emotional depth she brought to every performance. Heimwee is more than a concert – it is an ode to Mimi Coertse: a nostalgic journey honouring her timeless voice, profound influence, and the enduring sense of belonging and beauty in her music.
