Sunday concert at Nederburg

Sundown, time for wine and music
The Nederburg Manor House, which now houses the Red Table Restaurant
Lynne with David Biggs and Gail Alswang, enjoying a glass of sherry
Pianist Philippus Hugo, Soprano Hlengiwe Mkhwanazi,  Cherile Adams and Dylan Tabisher of US Slagwerk/Percussion Duo on the small stage in the Manor house
A large as possible audience crammed into the small room
listening with rapt attention
The first song was a perfect rendition of Ave Maria, full of emotion, light and shade.
The marimba adds a very good melodic background to the classical music
and requires a lot of skill
The performers taking a bow after a really accomplished and wonderfully enjoyable and varied performance
The buffet supper included a seafood soup and a tomato soup, bread, small venison pies, mini pizzas, chicken kebabs,. And for dessert chocolate brownies, quarters of chocolate tarts, creme brûlée and parfaits.
A glass of Nederburg Sauvignon blanc with the seafood soup
A glass of Nederburg Winemaker’s Reserve shiraz with a plate of snacks
Some people found it warm enough to eat supper on the terrace
but we ate in the voorkamer, in front of the fire
