FATHERS DAY CONCERT

The ever popular Old Mutual Music at the Lake Concerts offer entertainment for the whole family and their Fathers Day concert, a first in this series, offers a wonderful opportunity for family and friends to relax and enjoy a picnic at the lake. There are super prizes to be won with lots of fun and entertainment for the children in the kids zone.

A special programme of contemporary and light classical music will be presented by the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Conductor Naum Rousine. Items on the varied programme include La Cenerentola by Rossini and L’Arlesienne by Bizet and a selection from Broadway shows Chorus Line and Chicago.
