He loved music and could be seen at several concerts in any given week!\u201d says Martens.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Martens explains that although the ensemble has performed widely in and around Cape Town and Stellenbosch, logistics and finances prove a challenge for travelling broader with six cellists and six cellos, hence the group has performed very little in the rest of the country.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis prize is effectively a touring grant and the ideal gift to us, enabling us to spread our wings and perform at other festivals in South Africa next year. I look forward to honouring Rudolf through performances on tour next year, playing some of his favorite music and in doing so, bringing the joy of this unique ensemble to a wider audience,\u201d says Martens.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the 2027 prize onward, musicians can apply for the honours as part of the Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees\u2019 programme submissions process, and a panel of experts will determine the winner.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/woordfees.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Rudolf-Gouws-2-edited.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-111496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/woordfees.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Rudolf-Gouws-2-edited.jpeg 920w, https:\/\/woordfees.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Rudolf-Gouws-2-edited-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/woordfees.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Rudolf-Gouws-2-edited-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/woordfees.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Rudolf-Gouws-2-edited-600x400.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sub>Rudolf Gouws<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Rudolf Gouws Prize is awarded in honor of the economist and philanthropist <strong>Rudolf Gouws<\/strong>, who was chairman of the Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees for nearly ten years.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Saartjie Botha<\/strong>, director of the Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees, says \u201cRudolf was a true philanthropist and a passionate supporter of the arts and artists, not only at the Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees but also at the KKNK, Suidoosterfees and Aardklop. The Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees awards the prize each year with the support of his family and the Festival Forum. It aims to build new audiences for classical music and to make classical music present on every festival platform\u201d.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sonia Gouws<\/strong> says the family\u2019s motivation to support the prize is a celebration of her late husband\u2019s legacy as a classical music enthusiast and supporter. \u201cCurrently, it is only the Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees and Aardklop that present classical music alongside the plays and other shows. The KKNK does have a separate classical music festival later in the year, Klein Karoo Klassique. But now <em>Cellissimo<\/em> can also be showcased during the main KKNK, as well as at the Suidoosterfees and other festivals. The goal is to cultivate a love for classical music among festivalgoers nationwide,\u201d says Sonia.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For the diary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Programme submissions for the 2027 Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees programme, and thus also the Rudolf Gouws Prize, open at the end of November 2026.
