Jan-Erik Swart, klassieke musiekkurator vir die fees het 'n interessante klankprogram bymekaargesit wat selfs 'n Spaanse flair aan die fees gaan gee.

Die jong violis Emmanuel Bach gaan optree as solis in Lalo se Symphony Espagnole wat gehore sal meevoer na 'n ander wêreld.

Many of us have been on a wine tour – or have at least heard of one. Fact is, how many of us have ever heard of, let alone been on, a Brandy Route Tour? However, thanks to the über cool people at the South African Brandy Foundation, this reality seems set to change – big time. First off though – some interesting facts: Did you know that South Africa has two distinct Brandy Routes? One being up along Route 62, and the other (comprising over 14 producers), called the “Western Cape Route”, primarily covering the areas around Wellington, Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek; Despite widespread public perception, South Africa can be extremely proud of the fact that our Brandy’s are ranked as being of the finest in

Moord en verkragting onder die soeklig by die Absa KKNK

Toe Charles J. Fourie onlangs agter sy lessenaar ingeskuif het om sy jongste produksie Offer te skryf, sou hy nie kon raai dat dié produksie in 'n tyd sou afspeel wat Suid-Afrika se geweld-fenomeen opnuut die land in rou sou dompel nie. Of dalk is dit júís so voorspelbaar. Die onlangse grusame groepsverkragting van Anene Booysen (17) in Bredasdorp en die skokkende skietvoorval waarin die sportheld Oscar Pistorius sy vriendin Reeva Steenkamp (29) na bewering vermoor het, is vorme van geweld wat Fourie vierkantig in die oë staar in dié toneelstuk. Offer is 'n ontstellende en indringende teaterstuk wat die sinnelose geweld-fenomeen vanuit 'n historiese asook eietydse oog bekyk. Dit sal die gehoor laat nadink en besin oor hoe
