This one is for music lovers who want something fun, different and beautiful.
Gangs of Ballet’s music has been described as a blend of new sounds with haunting melodies and arrangements. Add to that the scale and richness of the Durban City Orchestra’s renditions – and you have the perfect scene to experience the expression of love in new ways.
“This is a mind and soul-blowing collaboration that has challenged our comfort zones,” said Gangs of Ballet lead vocalist and lead guitarist Brad Klynsmith. “We have created some very special music in the process”
Romantics are in for a treat, with the Durban Botanic Gardens looking its prettiest in the height of summer.
“The Old Mutual Music at the Lake concert series is all about using music to celebrate what nature serves us and with the Gardens displaying its best blooms, the sights and setting will be as special as the music,” said Old Mutual sponsorship manager Bandile Mngoma.
“We invite everyone to join us with their loved ones to celebrate nature and love as we start a beautiful year that promises great things.”
