Voices From the Past: Verrassende mededelings uit die kerkargief: Kleinode uit die Afrikaanse musiekskat

Come and discover stories and music that forms part of our past. Voices, in particular women’s voices, that resonate from primary sources, such as personal letters, diaries, newsletters and journals. Enjoy the humour, readings, songs and organ playing that build relationships, and create trust and togetherness across culture, language and time. View the wealth of historical photos, manuscripts and artefacts from the Dutch Reformed Church Archives after each presentation.

Kleinode uit die Afrikaanse musiekskat: Prof. Gawie Cillié, eerw. Frederik Hein en ander

“Oom Gawie” was an academic, astronomer, choir conductor and “song seeker”. He would get excited about all music: Steynsrust’s Liedboek, Reverend Frederik Hein’s handwritten Notenboek, Seodin School’s calligraphy School Song, the operetta Grenspos with music by Pierre Malan and Lofsangen by S. le Roux Marais.
