Pianist Philippus Hugo, Soprano Hlengiwe

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
