THE music and lifestyle of the East European gypsies has inspired many composers to create some of their best works.
Amongst these are Brahms and Dvorák, who each composed a set of Gypsy Songs that will be sung by Minette du Toit-Pearce and Anina Wassermann at La Motte Estate, Franschhoek, on Saturday 21 February.
Du Toit-Pearce and Wasserman are both national music award winners.
Also in the programme are the piano duo Elna van der Merwe and Zorada Temmingh, who will perform a number of Hungarian Dances by Brahms, as well as a selection from Dvorák’s Slavonic Dances.
The concert will be presented in the Estate’s historical cellar and starts at 19:00. Entrance is R110 per person. Guests will be welcomed with a glass of La Motte wine.
