Love meets music in sculpture garden
Set against the backdrop of the Cradle of Humankind, outside Johannesburg, The Concert for Love at Nirox Sculpture Park on Sunday 16 February explores the profound relationship between love and music.
This acoustic experience delves into how these two forces intertwine to shape emotional landscapes, using a blend of original compositions and carefully selected cover songs.
Stripped down to its essence, the music allows the rawness of lyrics, harmonies and melodies to take centre stage, exploring love’s many forms with delicate nuance.
The concert continues the bonds formed by a collection of South Africa’s finest musicians during their collaborative performance at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens last year.
The line-up features Zolani Mahola, Arno Carstens, Laurie Levine, AusTebza, Albert Frost, Tubatsi Moloi, Sky Dladla, Keketso Bolofo, Wynand Davel and David Watkyns, with instrumental sets by Richard Bruyns and a sunset showcase by Resonance String Quartet. Gates open at 10am. Tickets are R500 for general admission, and the concert is free for children under 10.
