It’s not often you get to hear the melodic sounds of the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra. And it’s not often you get to hear them for free!

But this Sunday, 16 August, The Pavilion Shopping Centre is hosting some of the province’s top musicians for two free live performances celebrating Women’s Month.

This follows the enthusiastic response to previous appearances at The Pavilion, giving you an easy way to enjoy some live orchestral music while spending the day shopping.

A musical celebration

Resident conductor Chad Hendricks is at the helm of this specially curated programme that promises a mix of orchestral favourites, light classical pieces, and popular songs.

The repertoire includes music from:

  • Skyfall
  • A Sound of Music medley
  • I Have Nothing
  • I’m Every Woman
  • I Wanna Dance with Somebody
  • Over the Rainbow

In other words, expect a little bit of everything, from cinematic drama to classic show tunes and some seriously nostalgic favourites.

“Hosting the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra is always a privilege, and we are especially excited to celebrate Women’s Month through the universal language of music,” says Vicky Deppe, General Manager of Pavilion Shopping Centre.

Deppe adds that those who have never experienced a live orchestra are in for a treat.

“These free performances provide a unique opportunity for our community to experience the magic of a live orchestra while enjoying all that The Pavilion has to offer.”

Grab a coffee, do a little shopping, and settle in for some live music.
