GEORGE NEWS - One of South Africa's premier chamber choirs, Palissander, returns to St Mark's Cathedral on Tuesday 27 August to present Message in a Bottle as part of their tour of the Western Cape.
The theme considers the close relationship between people and water - water is life, water gives life and water reflects life. Each one of us receives our own message from water, depending where we are in our life's journey.
The choir will be singing a wide variety of music addressing the different forms of water that a person encounters in life, including new works from South African composers such as Franco Prinsloo's Miracle Tree and Niel van der Watt's En Johannes die Doper sê.
The programme will also include Korean, Brazilian and Kenyan folk songs as well as Allan Koepke's familiar spiritual Wade in the Water together with well-known songs such as Fragile and Bridge over troubled water.
The choir has performed locally and overseas on numerous occasions, engaging audiences not only musically but also intellectually and emotionally through programmes bound by central themes.
After their visit to George in 2017 reviewer Sue Rijsdijk commented that it "was a concert of note and the beauty of this world-class choir is their body stillness which allowed the sound to soar up into the rafters".
Their performance starts at 19:00.
Entrance is free, with a retiring collection for cathedral funds.
