The Friends of Orchestral Music are delighted to present a fundraising Sunset Soiree of music and conversation - in collaboration with Bowmans, featuring their breathtaking city views, delicious food and statement wines. These glittering evenings take place on the 11th floor of the Bowmans’ Cape Town office, where guests will be greeted to a sunset drink overlooking the city, before settling down to a mix of chamber music featuring some of South Africa’s finest musicians and a fascinating talk ‘behind the music’. This year we are focussing on the orchestra - and the first soiree on Thursday 15 May, starts at the back in the percussion and brass sections of the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra. Albert Combrink and John Woodland who present the CPO’s pre concert talks will open the proceedings and music will come from the CPO Percussion Trio and Ubuntu Brass Quintet giving the audience a chance to experience these instruments close up and discover their inner workings. Thanks to the generous support of Bowmans and Bill van Rensburg, the Friends of Orchestral Music are able to bring you these unique evenings in order to raise much needed funds for the upliftment and development of orchestral music and musicians across Cape Town. Limited tickets for the intimate event are available at a price of R600 per person. FOM members pay a special price of R500 - with all proceeds going to projects of the Friends of Orchestral Music. The concert is followed by sumptuous canapes, delicious wines and the chance to view the instruments and talk to the musicians.For more details email info@fomct.com
