RADIO presenter Fanie Smit is bringing his Jubilate Festival of choral singing to the Groote Kerk on Friday 30 May in conjunction with FMR 101.3 FM Stereo.
The festival, which begins at 19:30, will feature some of greater Cape Town's best choirs - the Stellenbosch University Choir, Pro Cantu Youth Choir, Stellenberg Girl's Choir and the City of Tygerberg Choir.
They'll sing a capella and together in a massed choir of 300 voices with the Stellenbosch Symphonic Winds, which will be conducted by Albert Engel.
Conductors are André van der Merwe and Edward Aitcheson, and works include excerpts from The Deutsche Messe by Franz Schubert, the first part of the Gloria by John Rutter, Bach's Lobet den Herrn and a host of other popular works.
The Ave Maria will also be on the programme, along with one of the most famed songs from My Fair Lady, "I could have danced all night".
While secular now in content, the festival was born a year ago in Pretoria out to mark the 30th anniversary of Fanie Smit's popular radio programme "Loof die Here" on RSG.
It has since spread successfully to Durban, Bloemfontein, Pretoria, Potchefstroom and now to the Groote Kerk, Cape Town.
Tickets are R40 and R60 from Computicket. |

New play looks at crime |
|
|
|
A NEW play, entitled "Ijumpile Lendaba" will be performed by the Desmond Tutu High School Drama Group with People's Productions in the school hall
on 30 May.
The play looks at the unacceptable crime levels in the townships.
The story is about a group of young gangsters (Amarhanga Boys) who have crime connections with certain policemen.
Every time there are cases against "Amarhanga boys" those dockets are destroyed by policemen who are in cahoots with them, but then they start to double-cross one another.
The play was created by Thami Mbongo (who also directs) with co-writers Siyabulela Bin Mcitheka and Inathi Dingashe.
The play features fresh young talent from Desmond Mpilo Tutu High, Ihlumelo Junior Secondary and Mbekweni.
Mbongo hopes to take the production on a Boland tour. They also hope to perform at arts festivals at Peninsula Technikon and Artscape. Book with Thando Baliso, 083-672-5830. |
