The Rotary Club of Grahamstown Sunset is hosting its third annual 'Grahamstown’s Got Talent' concert tonight (7pm Friday 27 May). Their aim, they say, is "to showcase the extraordinary gifts that we have in the town."  

The Rotary Club of Grahamstown Sunset is hosting its third annual 'Grahamstown’s Got Talent' concert tonight (7pm Friday 27 May). Their aim, they say, is "to showcase the extraordinary gifts that we have in the town."  

The line-up includes a series of performers from all niches of Grahamstown. Acts from schools, local arts groups and Rhodes will fill the stage of the Monument theatre with music, song and dance.

“In designing the program, we have drawn on both amateur and professional performers from Grahamstown in order to showcase local talent,” said Don Hendry of the Rotary Club. “We have concentrated on song (both solo and choir), instrumental music (solo and group; classical, popular and jazz) and dance (modern, ballet and Spanish).”

Acts include: the Graeme College Marimba band and the Major 6th vocal group; the St Andrew’s/DSG Staff Jazz Group; the Kingswood Saxophone Ensemble; from VGHS – a tenor solo, soprano solo, tenor duet, flute solo, piano solo, recorder quartet with Rhodes students; the Movements Dance School with a modern ballet, a classical ballet and Spanish Dances; the Amaphiko Dancers; the Nombulelo Small choir; the eRhini Suzuki Strings; the Signature Sound a capella group; the AMP! Junior Marimba Group and the University Madrigal Singers.  

The concert is directed by Jeanine Baart who has been working for weeks to source the acts and put the programme together.

Tickets for “Grahamstown’s Got Talent” are available from Este Coetzee (estecoet@hotmail.com, 072 128 0133), local outlets – Jenny Gopal Optometrists, PG Glass, Grahamstown Electrical Distributors, Makana Tourism and Salon Gavroche – or at the Monument tonight.

Cost is R60 per person or R40 for school block bookings.  All proceeds will go towards a Rotary project to raise an international grant for Hospice.

The event is for a good cause. “The aim of this variety concert is to raise funds for a large Rotary Global Grant in aid of a vehicle, equipment and the training programs of Hospice,” said Hendry.
