Moederkerk

R180 | R210 at the door

In the silence of the Moederkerk, sound emerges from breath and strings. In this musical pilgrimage from Von Bingens’ medieval mysticism to Du Toit’s modern sound poetry voices and music intertwine, and like fynbos renewed through fire, the music testifies to the resilience of our communities – renewing and unifying, sanctifying and healing, penetrating. A fire of the spirit!

With Bongiwe Nakani (mezzo soprano), Lente Louw (mezzo soprano), Sandra Prinsloo (narrator), Siyolise Nyondo (double bass), José Dias (piano), The Kirby Quartet, Nicholas Bruiners (first violin), Kaitlin Visser-Downie (second violin), Jana Smit (viola), Ashlin Grobbelaar (cello), Overberg Women’s Choir under the baton of Sunell Jacobs
