The newly formed South African Music Alliance and local production company TwoTone Music will be
hosting the first of a series of concerts featuring collaborations between international and local
performers on 26 March (7pm) at Collegiate Girls’ High Auditorium.

supplementing the culture of music concerts in the Bay by initiating a year-round series of chamber
concerts and shows across various genres.

The duo have secured violin professor Dr Quinton Morris from Seattle University in Washington
for the alliance’s inaugural concert which will feature Jones on cello and local pianist Mariel Ilusorio (originally from the Philippines) on piano.

This truly international trio (hence the concert title Music Across Borders) promises to deliver an outstanding musical experience featuring works by Beethoven,Mozart and Gliére.

Dr Morris will also be hosting a workshop and master class for local string players on Saturday 23 March from 12h00 – 15h50 at the Feather Market Centre - seats are limited to 20 participants (at R150 per person) for the workshop which includes course
material and refreshments.

An additional 5 String players will be able to participate in the practical master class and will be
selected by the organisers based on a first come, first serve basis. The cost of the performance class
will be R300 per person.
