Celebrate the season in style with an elegant evening of music, fine food, and festive spirit. Internationally acclaimed soprano Lynelle Kenned and distinguished baritone William Berger join forces with pianist Stefan Lombard, violinist David Bester, and cellist Dane Coetzee to present a captivating programme that moves effortlessly from much-loved classical masterpieces to timeless popular favourites.
Reflecting the warmth and joy of summer and the approaching festive season, the performance will feature exquisite solos, enchanting duets, and instrumental gems. Paired with the renowned culinary flair and hospitality of The Franschhoek Hospitality Academy, this promises to be a truly unforgettable gala evening — a celebration of music, food, wine, and generosity in support of a worthy cause.
Sip Colmant Cap Classique and enjoy delectable canapés crafted by the outstanding kitchen of La Cotte.
All proceeds will go towards the Franschhoek Hospitality Academy’s main objective – uplifting local, historically disadvantaged youth by providing them with the necessary hospitality skills and training to gain employment within the tourism industry. Since 2018 a total of 387 students have completed the academy education, 96% of our graduates are employed within the Cape Winelands, and 16 graduates work or study in Austria. This fundraiser focuses on raising the funds for the Class of 2026.
During the evening they will have a short auction, where you can bid on a private concert with Lynelle Kenned and Stefan Lombard in the comfort of your own home or a venue of your choice.
