Amazing to think that most of the northern hemisphere misses out on sitting outdoors with five thousand other people on a balmy evening in one of the most magnificent settings in the world.
Imagine five thousand candles lighting up the concert lawn at Kirstenbosch!
This is the concert lawn filling up before the 'performance'Gates opened at 18h00 and the performance started at 20h00
Concert stage on the left under the white awning
I took this pic yesterday evening from the Kirstenbosch contour path on the evening after we had been to the concert
The event started with a great performance by a three piece marimba band called 'amaAmbush'They gave a real high energy performance - great
The music for the carol singing was performed by the Cape Town Brass Ensemble and the Cape Town Mens Choir
Then came the angels and the carols
Christmas carols 'Africa style'
The audience streached way up the lawnLinks to two short video clips here and here
Excuse the poor quality but I now need to learn how to edit and save video clips in the ideal format recommended by YouTube
This is a good start though - I hope
