Taking to the stage with Charl du Plessis on piano, Werner Spies on stick bass and drummer Peter Auret, the artists started the evening off with a masterful rendition of a composition by Beethoven.  This was followed with Beethoven’s Für Elise which the three played with seven beats in a bar instead of the usual three beats.
