Concerts Connect is an innovative series of live streamed concerts starting with a Violin and Piano Recital at Lourensford Wine Estate, featuring pianist Luis Magalhaes and violinist Alissa Margulis, this Sunday.
“Cape Town Concert Series have been working behind the scenes at ways to keep you connected to the music. As such we have been offered the chance to partner with a very special live streaming project and we would like to offer this to you – our loyal supporters – as a complimentary gift to thank you for all your support at this time”, writes Louise Howlett.
Concerts Connect
Concerts Connect is a new innovative series of concerts which will be live-streamed to audiences from different venues around the Western Cape – made possibly by the new media allowances under level 4 of lockdown. The first concert will feature pianist Luis Magalhaes and violinist Alissa Margulis – who has been unable to leave South Africa since the lockdown in March.
They are presenting this concert exclusively for established Concert Series in recognition of the world-class performances we have presented over the years. This concert helps us to give back to our existing patrons as well as grow new audiences and support musicians in need.
They will present a diverse programme featuring Beethoven’s Spring Sonata and other works by Dvorak, Kreisler, Schumann, Brahms, Paradis and Saint-Saëns.
How to attend:

Please spread the word to friends who might also enjoy this event. “Whilst the Concert Series needs to raise funds at this time, we also know how many artists are currently struggling and we will be donating half the proceeds to the Theatre Benevolent Fund for musicians who have fallen on hard times. If you or any friends would like to purchase a ticket- you can do so online via Quicket at the address link below. If you have trouble with this please contact me directly and I will arrange a ticket for you”, writes Louise.
The broadcast starts at 3.30pm with a full introduction before the concert itself starting at 4. The broadcast will also be available for 72 hours thereafter.
The concert is a collaboration with the Knysna Music Society, Overstrand Arts/Kunste and KayTee Soirees who will each be selling tickets via Quicket. This also gives us opportunity to invite audiences from anywhere in the world to support our series here.
