the Old Tannery, Wellington
ABOUT
A classical music concert hosted at the Old Tannery in Wellington, one of the oldest factories in South Africa.
Pick from two concert times. Each ticket includes a glass of wine or beer from the in-house Old Tannery brewery. Arrive early and have a coffee at the coffee shop, and linger afterwards to meet and speak to the musicians.
Four violinists, two violists, and two cellists team up for a non-stop journey of an epic scale: Enescu's Octet is one of the most technically demanding pieces written for this combination. Expect everything from raw, plaintive melodies to brutal rhythmic episodes. In these unprecedented times, eight accomplished musicians been provided with the rare chance to work together intensively.
Jeffrey Armstrong - violin
David Bester - violin
Paul Loeb van Zuilenburg - violin
Joshua Louis - violin
Petrus Coetzee - viola
Stephanie Lawrenson - viola
Graham du Plessis - cello
Nicola McLachlan - cello
BOOKING ESSENTIAL due to limited capacity.

Please consider donating towards the artists' fees: any amount will go a long way towards making small concerts like these sustainable in the future.
These concerts will be run in strict accordance with advice set out in the most recently gazetted regulations. Please wear a mask at all times. For any queries, call 071 161 8586.
