Sunday sweet sounds and strings

Thrashing rain
blue skies
such is life
a journey
a river
a tapestry
you never quite know
what you are going to get.

This afternoon I got the "Cape Consort."
wow; what a gift.

The Cape Consort – a group of 6 singers and 2 basso continuo players – is a new local ensemble committed to stylish performances of (mostly) Early Music. Cellist and composer Hans Huyssen and harpsichordist Andrew Cruickshank, who have been collaborating for years, have joined forces with Lente Louw and Antoinette Blyth (sopranos), Nick de Jager, Nico Holtzhausen, Lance Phillip (tenors) and Charles Ainslie (bass-baritone).

The group aims to establish a constant presence in the Cape exploring and presenting early vocal repertoire, which rarely features in local concerts programmes.


Thanks Stuart for introducing this special group to us.
Thanks also for Backsberg's Merlot and wonderful company.
