INTRODUCTION: SWARTBERG MUSIC SALON
The Swartberg Music Salon (SMS) is a new initiative run in collaboration with the Prince Albert Community Trust (PACT) and the ARCO Project, a music programme for Early Child Development and string teaching. The Artistic Committee is Louise Lansdown, Elna van der Merwe and Anthony Alcock, with Leone Pitts as project manager. This new and unique chamber music festival will take place from 2 – 4 August and is yet another unique and Karoo-centric festival to be held in Prince Albert, complimenting the hugely successful Journey to Jazz which was first held in 2023 (also a PACT initiative).
The festival’s performances will headline some of South Africa’s most highly regarded musicians including violinists Zanta Hofmeyr and Samson Diamond, violists Louise Lansdown and Jeanne-Louise Moolman, cellist Susan Mouton, pianist Elna van der Merwe, and UK double bassist Anthony Alcock. South of Bear including violists Emile de Roubaix, Jan Hendrik-Harley and double bassist Mariechen Meyer will also be featured, as well as the magnificent opera singer Lynelle Kenned.

SMS hopes to be held annually and attract people from across the country to Prince Albert showcasing its rich musical heritage, initiatives and musical talent. It will be a celebration of chamber music, filled with inspiring Karoo inspired concerts held in venues across Prince Albert. The streets and homes of Prince Albert will be ringing with the sound of music for these four days!

The full programme can be viewed on the SMS website: https://theshowroomtheatre.co.za/swartberg-music-salon-2/

Tickets are available through Quicket, or at the Showroom Theatre in Prince Albert
