Concert in the Park

We are thrilled to announce that the Eastern Cape Philharmonic’s Concerts in Victoria Park are back in their popular time slot in February!

This year’s Sundowner concert will take place on Saturday 18 February at 5pm; and the Brunch concert on Sunday 19 February at 10am.

Everything else remains the same – wonderful soloists, Richard Cock at the helm, the full Philharmonic Orchestra to entertain the crowds; and a beautiful Park in which to relax, spread out the picnic blanket and enjoy some fabulous music and good food.The soloists this year are exceptional – directly from a sold out performance at the Oude Libertas Amphitheatre in December, we have everyone’s favourite, Tim Moloi, together with stunning Lauren Dasappa. They will be bringing all the Big band swing numbers to life – Fly me to the Moon, I’ve got you under my skin, Summertime, Mac the Knife and many, many more. Tim is no stranger to the ECPO, having performed at our 2011 Park concerts, and at the memorable Igazi Foundation Red Balls. He is the consummate professional, having appeared in 2016 alone in A Night with the Stars, Classics is Groot, the Naledi Theatre awards, Hartklop, and the superb Luther Vandross Tribute, among many other performances. Lauren Dasappa lectures Classical voice at Stellenbosch University, but her personal repertoire ranges from opera to light and popular music – including an award for her performance as the Fairy Godmother in Rogers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella!

Tickets are available at the Victoria Park gates on the day from 2 hours before each concert, at R120 for adults; R70 for pensioners; R50 for scholars; and free for pre-schoolers.
