DIE BLONDES BESOEK STILBAAI


Op Woensdagaand 29 Augustus 2012 om 19h30 in die NG Kerksaal-Oos wag daar nog ‘n lekkerny op ons.  Zorada Temmingh en Elna van der Merwe  wat nou reeds bekendheid verwerf het as “Die Blondes”,  gaan ‘n uitvoering lewer op twee klaviere! Die program strek van Mozart en Tchaikovsky tot ABBA en plaaslike volksliedjies wat meesterlik verwerk word deur die twee, wat al op universiteit begin saamspeel het.
Elna is een van Suid-Afrika se voorste klavierbegeleiers vir nasionale en internasionale soliste, asook by o.a. die Unisa Musiekkompetisie. Zorada word beskou as Suid-Afrika se voorste orrel-improvisator, veral vir klankbaan-improvisasies van stilfilms. Vir haar grensverskuiwende bydrae tot klasieke musiek is sy tydens die KKNK 2006 met ‘n spesiale Kanna vereer.
Om die optrede meer genotvol te maak, het die bestuur daarin geslaag om, met die goedgunstige medewerking van die Hessequa Munisipaliteit en die NG Kerk, Stilbaai, die Yamaha-vleuelklavier vanaf die Gemeenskapsaal na die kerksaal te verskuif. Dit het nie sommer maklik gegaan of oornag gebeur nie!
Kom geniet dus die skouspel Saterdagaand die 29ste deser. Kaartjies is verkrygbaar by CUPZ-Restaurant in die Fynbossentrum of by lede van die Bestuur. Sien jou daar!

The Cape Town Male Voice Choir
The Stilbaai Music Society has another treat in store for our members and the music-loving inhabitants of our village. Shortly after the Blondes, this famous choir pays us a visit. On Saturday 8 September 2012 the 40 strong choir will perform in the NG Church Hall –East at 19h30.This choir was founded in 1967 by Dr. Chris Molyneux for men of all colors, creeds and backgrounds. The only criteria were the ability to sing and a commitment to the choir. The aim of the choir is to bring the joy of choral music to its members and audiences alike. The choir sings a varied repertoire of male vocal music and has as its aim to provide entertaining live performances of music to the community.
The Tatler London magazine reports that their last performance was in the superb Wales Choir of the World Concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London on July 7 and marked the high point for the choir. The reporter also describes the rehearsal before the event as “spine-tingling” and reports that the impact of the performance was evident in the standing ovation and prolonged applause the choir received afterwards. Some people were in tears, overcome with emotion of being witness to the performance described as “breathtaking”.
No local music lover can afford to miss this performance. Please watch out for posters and reports in the papers, and buy your tickets at CUPZ or from any Committee member. The price of the ticket is slightly higher due to the high performance fee and the number of choir members taking part and will cost R70 for members and R90 for non-members.
