Music-lovers can look forward to an evening of readings, carols and seasonal music at the Grace Hall at Ashton International College in Ballito at 7.30 pm on Tuesday, December 5.

Capostagno will entertain the audience with his humorous selections of seasonal stories, readings and anecdotes while Teto will sing ‘Ave Maria’, ‘Panis Angelicus’ and ‘O Holy Night’.

Then together they will lead the audiences in the singing of carols with Duigan at the piano. Andy Capostagno has been a familiar voice on Supersport for almost quarter of a century, commentating on everything from rugby to netball.
