Annual Great Christmas Concert

By

The annual great Christmas Concert will be presented in the Feather Market Centre on Thursday, 7 December 2017 from 13h00.

A selection of Christmas festive music will be played on the grand organ by Albert Troskie, Marilise van Rooyen, Rina Ras and Johan van Eck. The rich diversity of the organ’s Midi sounds will also be heard.

Mezzo soprano Anri Janse van Rensburg, accompanied by organist Johan Strydom, will sing, amongst others, the popular Alleluia by Mozart and Max Reger’s Maria Wiegenlied.

The well-known Port Elizabeth choir, Cantando@Algoa directed by Bouwer van Rooyen, will be heard in the lovely Christmas Lullaby, Carol of the Bells and Cantate Domino.

A massed choir of 100 voices, will sing four works, including the always popular Deo Gracias and Christmas Isn’t Christmas till it happens in your heart.

The piano and organ duet, Hanlie Young and Albert Troskie will appear in two exciting arrangements of Joy to the World and O Come, all ye faithful.

An interesting atmosphere will be created with a performance of Christmas carols by Piet de Villiers (concertina) and guitarists Rudolph Britz and Neels van Rooyen, whilst the Nigerian counter-tenor, Segun Soyemi, wil sing two Handel arias, including Largo.

At this feast of Christmas music funds will be raised for charity.

Admission is R 50.00 and R40.00 for pensioners, whilst learners pay R20.00. Tickets at the door only.
