Riebeek-Kasteel, South Africa - When the sounds of newly commissioned music specially composed for Solo Symphony fill the NG Church building in Riebeek Kasteel on August 20th, history will be made in many respects.
For the first time – with Solo Studios 2023 – a full symphony orchestra (the Winelands Philharmonic Orchestra) will be heard in this building, whose cornerstone was laid 110 years ago in 1913.
For the very first time, the local Steelband, which has become an institution over the last 25 years for performing at events, will also play in this building.
And for the first time, these two orchestras will perform music together – a new overture composed by Kristi Boonzaaier, as well as arrangements by Boonzaaier of music that the Steelband has previously performed solo numerous times.
