Performances
Love, mystery, grace, indulgence, and sheer beauty
are expressed in this selection of gorgeous music
by inspirational, outstanding yet still significantly
under-represented, women composers.
Comprising gentle and joyful Baroque, juicy and
virtuosic Romanticism, passionate Spanish flamenco
song, and the atmospheric lyricism of nostalgic
memories, three phenomenal women will play music
by five phenomenal women from around the globe
and from different eras, to delight and enchant.
Maya Angelou’s Phenomenal Woman provides
the thread from which a multi-coloured and
multi-textured fabric of moods and sounds is woven.
The multi award-winning trio of pianist and songwriter
Christof and sopranos Hlengiwe and Zine will entertain
festival-goers with a unique performance in a colourful
kaleidoscope of languages true to their rainbow nation
home.
Bringing new life to the treasure chest of traditional
South African songs and spilling some African magic into
some of the world’s greatest hits, Shades of Africa will be
the perfect accompaniment to a heart-warming and
sociable Supper Club evening.
Enjoy a three-course supper and wine, once again
catered by Blueberry Monday under the watchful eye
of Elzette Cyster-Human.
