Singing for 67 blankets
Singing for 67 Blankets showcase will be presented by the UKZN School of Arts.
THE UKZN School of Arts presents Singing for 67 Blankets, a vocal showcase featuring talented singers from the School of Arts (Music) at UKZN, on Tuesday 14 April at the Centre for Jazz and Popular Music at 6pm.
The evening of song includes a programme of opera, classical voice, popular music, jazz, Isicathamiya, Amahubo, solo and ensemble singing.
The Durban Girls’ High School Vocal Ensemble will join the UKZN performers with a selection of choral pieces.
This annual concert not only provides a platform to showcase the talented, diverse singers in the School of Arts, and broader community, it also provides an opportunity to make a contribution to the national charity 67 Blankets.
Each singer has donated a ball of wool or knitted a square which will be sewn together to make a blanket for this campaign and will be presented to the charity at the concert – all blankets in this campaign will be displayed at the Union Buildings in Pretoria on Nelson Mandela Day, before being distributed to various charities across the country.
The show will feature music by Mozart, Schubert and Puccinni plus Gershwin, Monk and Porter, even Trainor and Beyonce.
Wool may be purchased at the concert. A donation box for wool or cash will be available at the door.
Tickets cost R30 or R15 for students, and doors open at 5.30pm. For further information contact marid1@ukzn.ac.za or 031 260 3385.
