As the official hosts, the Eastern Cape Children's Choir welcomed the orchestra by performing the beautiful Laudate Dominum by Mozart as well as the Sandman and Evening Prayer from the opera Hansel and Gretel by Engelbert Humperdinck, with Liske Potgieter as soloist (with the orchestra as accompanist, of course)! The conductor, orchestra members and orchestra management were all most complimentary about the choir's excellent sound production and general discipline on stage!
The orchestra's performance was superb and the Dvorak Cello Concerto, played by the South African born Cobus Swanepoel, a real treat for music lovers.
We're looking forward to meeting our new friends from Switzerland very soon again!
