DEAR Editor,-
It will be with great sadness that we say goodbye to Sister Edith Hassler when she says a fond farewell to South Africa and returns to her native country Germany after almost 60 years at Nardini Convent in Vryheid.
Literally hundreds of Vryheid children will have spent time at the piano, guitar or numerous other musical instruments with Sister Edith and can say that without her inspiration they would not have been able to get the pleasure and satisfaction they now derive from being able to play an instrument.
William Silk is one such ex-pupil of Sister Edith who has certainly taken full advantage of the love of music that she instilled in him and will be bringing his Natal Midlands Youth Choir to perform a farewell concert for Sister Edith in the Abbey at Inkamana on Sunday, April 22, at 2pm.
William and his choir have just returned from a very successful Easter tour of the United Kingdom and will be performing a wide selection of musical pieces ranging from classical to popular to traditional African – in fact something for everyone’s taste.
Tickets are R50 per person. If you would like to attend this concert and say farewell to Sister Edith – or if you just want to listen to beautifully performed choral music, please contact Annie Silk at 083 6579319 or Geoff Silk at 083 4488299.
GEOFF SILK
