Students string audience through the classics
The Lowveld Chamber Music Association, in partnership with Theresa Prinsloo, presented a Command Performance on Thursday.
The evening was filled with breathtaking classical melodies, played on the harp and piano. Walter Fourie also participated with a stunning vocal rendition of “Il Mio Tesoro” and concluded the evening with “Ride on, King Jesus”.
Four of Prinsloo’s students (Trinity College of London grade seven and eight students) entertained the audience with pieces they had played for their examinations, giving them a chance to show off all their hard work over the past months.

Prinsloo, Fourie and Piet Swanepoel established the Lowveld Chamber Music Association in 2010 and since then they have tried to hold events such as the Command Performance at least once a month.
Their next performance will be November 10 at Penryn College. In association with the Laudate Choir, the Lowveld Community Orchestra and the Sempre Vino Ensemble, they will host an early Christmas concert.
Soloists featured will include Conroy Scott, Gugu Mahlalela, Janette Rottcher, Jurgens Naude and Anthea du Toit.
Tickets are R130 for adults, R120 for pensioners and R20 for students. Tickets will be available online at quicket.co.za (at a discount), as well as at the door.
