Friends of Music and i Grandi Tenori are NGO’s which are committed to producing opportunities for all opera/classical artists to showcase their abilities with the borders of our country. Our aim is to see talented young people being able to create a sustainable future for themselves in the performing arts. We see support and developments as being paramount,” says Keith Millar, who runs Friends of Music.

“While we celebrate Christmas time with our caring families, let’s think about those less fortunate. Help us give homeless children some joy at Christmas time by donating a gift at the front door of the Centre on the day of the concert,” concludes Millar.

Christmas Music Extravaganza will take place on December 17 at 18h00 at the Durban Jewish Centre, 44 KE Masinga (Old Fort) Road.

Tickets will be sold at the door for R100pp (R60 for students with student cards and free for children who are 11 years old and below under parental supervision). With picnic set-up style, concert goers are welcomed to bring their picnic baskets (doors will open at 17h00). A cash bar will be available so no alcohol may brought onto the property.
