(Njabulo
Madlala)
Imagine picnicking on Durban’s Kingsmead
cricket field whilst listening to the full live KZN Philharmonic Orchestra on
Mother’s Day?
In a special concert designed to make every
mother happy, the KZN Philharmonic has invited leading South African artists to
make music with them on May 11.
Classically-trained, leading R & B
singer Loyisa Bala is just one of the attractions, delighting the audience with
Maybe and I want you. Also in action will be Toya Delazy with her sultry
jazz, electro, hop-pop combinations and singing Pump it on and Love is in the
Air. Natalie Rungan, featuring her jazz and R & B sounds, will
mesmerize the audience with I’ve got you
under my Skin and Somewhere out there.
Not often that you will hear these stars accompanied by a 70-piece live
orchestra!
Then there is the not-to-be-missed Melanie
Lowe with I’ll be gone. Sweetest of
Rhymes and My Immortal as well as
exciting baritone Njabulo Madlala who has recently been announced as the
Standard Bank’s Young Artist of the Year.
Bongani Tembe, Chief Executive and Artistic
Director of the KZN Philharmonic, believes that mothers are the bedrock of our
society. “One of our orchestra’s key commitments is to engage with members of
our diverse communities. We are presenting this concert to recognise all
mothers in Ethekwini and to create an opportunity for their families to spoil
them on their special day.”
The concert starts at 15h00 and gates will
open at 13h00, allowing audience members to find their spot and enjoy their
picnic before the music begins. Seating is available on the north stand, the Q
& R benches, the north-west grass bank as well as on the cricket field.
Entrance is through the north turnstiles. Bring your own picnic, rugs,
deckchairs and spend a happy, relaxing afternoon soaking up magnificent
entertainment.
