The KZN Youth
Orchestra, featuring the cream of the province’s musical youngsters, will bring
their brand of classical music to Crawford North Coast in Watson Highway,
Westbrook, on March 6.
They will present a
programme of music embracing the classic repertoire and some symphonic jazz and
pop. Also of interest will be an original Indian classical piece performed by
Shruti and Viashnav Teeluck on the sitar and tabla respectively.
Titled Classic Blast, the concert will have the
KZN Youth Orchestra sharing the stage with the popular jazz show band Platform
Jazz who will perform a shortened version of their recent sell-out show, Swingtime, in the second half of the
concert. This showcases the velvet-voiced Shelley McLean singing great hits
from the 30’s and 40’s such as Hey Mambo,
Blue Moon, My Baby just cares for me and L.O.V.E.
Led by Cathy
Peacock, the band will play big band tunes by Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller
to name a few and will treat the audience to a large dose of nostalgia and
elegance. Other band members include Jeff judge on sax, Duncan Wooldridge on
trombone, Kirsten Sayers on clarinet, Yuri Litveneko on double bass, Stephane
Pechoux on drums and Melvin Peters on piano. Three young crooners from Crawford
will perform an item with them.
Classic Blast takes place on March 6 at 18h00 at Crawford
North Coast which is situated in Watson Highway, Westbrook. Tickets R80 (R50 pensioners
