Greyton Genadendal Classics for All in Greyton

The Greyton Genadendal Classics for All Festival takes place from 1st to 3rd June. Eight concerts will be performed in the historic churches of Greyton and Genadendal, as well as in smaller venues in these two neighbouring villages.

The festival line-up includes a concert by the Cool Classic Kidz, a group of the most talented classical music protégés in South Africa and this year they will be accompanied by students from the Masidlale music project of the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra along with a performance by the full Cape Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. There will also be performances by the South African Youth Choir, baritone Federico Freschi, wind performers Carin Bam (oboe), Brandon Philips (bassoon), Caroline Prozesky (French horn) and Daniel Prozesky (clarinet), top pianists such as local lad Philippus Hugo, USA based Willem van Schalkwyk, Stefan Lombard and Jose Dias, to name but a few which will set the stage for the best “Classics for All” festival ever!

Look out for the performance of the Dolci Tenori, a group of five young singers who will be performing with well-known TV personality and performer Charlene Truter which will no doubt be the talk of the festival.

The highlight of the festival will be the gala concert performance in the historic Moravian church in Genadendal. This unique concert is a collaboration between well-known soloists Minette du Toit-Pearce (alto) and Vanessa Tait-Jones (soprano), in concert with the choirs of the Moravian Churches in Greyton and Genadendal, as well as the Genadendal Brass Band, and accompanied by Philippus Hugo.

Proceeds from this concert will go towards a bursary for a musically gifted student from the Greyton Genadendal region to further his/her studies in music.
