Performances<br />
The Mzansi Tenors have been wowing audiences around<br />
the country and now return for the <strong>FynArts</strong> Festival with<br />
a programme curated for the sold-out season at Theatre<br />
on the Bay.<br />
The programme of famous tenor arias and South African<br />
favourites also includes great tenor hits made famous by<br />
Enrico Caruso, such as Santa Lucia, Granada, Ave Maria,<br />
and a tribute to Caruso by Lucio Dalla – a fitting inclusion<br />
in the year of the 150th anniversary of Enrico Caruso’s<br />
birth. Don’t miss this special concert hosted by Richard<br />
Cock.<br />
Sincere thanks to Anet and Ton Vosloo, Patrons of<br />
<strong>FynArts</strong>, for generously sponsoring this concert by<br />
the Mzansi Tenors, supported by RMB.<br />
From Passacaglia, Halvorsen’s ‘impossible duet’, to<br />
Piazzolla’s Libertango, the eclectic Salt & Pepper Duo<br />
is able to capture the beauty of famed arias and string<br />
works, by way of fascinating arrangements.<br />
Being versatile is one of the essential pillars on which<br />
Salt & Pepper Duo is built, thus performing a range of<br />
works from demanding repertoire for violin and viola<br />
(written specifically for this somewhat unusual pairing<br />
of instruments), to audience favourites.<br />
Maja and Samantha have been playing together for over<br />
fifteen years since first playing at youth orchestra courses<br />
from a young age. They are now both professional<br />
musicians based in Cape Town. The duo has performed<br />
at venues such as Erin Hall, the Baxter Concert Hall, and<br />
St George’s Cathedral.<br />
