MASTER saxophonist, singer and band leader for more than 30 years, Robbie Jansen, will blow you away with his charismatic style in the Theatre at Bridge House on 22 May.
Robbie is one of the Cape’s leading entertainers and has been a driving force in the development of the “Cape Jazz Style”. Despite his illness, Robbie packs a powerful punch with his special style of jazz, and still wows every audience with his signature rendition of Georgia on my Mind.
Bridge House School has music and the arts woven into its unique fingerprint with a large, highly specialised music department, pupils from pre-primary age participate in musical expression, large numbers of individual music pupils express themselves on the piano, violin, flute, drums, guitar and clarinet and in voice - even children in the valley benefit from the Valley Music Project. Appreciation of a wide range of musical genres is encouraged at the school, and so excitement is mounting as the date of the Robbie Jansen Benefit Concert draws near.
Robbie will be joined by other top-class entertainers to provide a wonderful evening of entertainment.
The proceeds of the concert will go towards providing Robbie with oxy- gen to the oxygen tank to which he is permanently connected.
Tickets cost R100 per person and can be purchased from Jenny Jones at Bridge House Reception on 021-874-8100 or email jen jon@bridgehouse.org.za.
