The
sensational seven with dynamic Zolani Mahola on lead vocals will treat you to
favourites including Fire is Low, Ma-Cherie, Pot
Belly, Doo Be Doo, I’d Like, Would You Mind
and The Man Moves, with
full symphonic accompaniment.
“Playing
with an orchestra’s big symphonic sound creates a whole new sound picture for
any group…it’s like driving a smart car, but then finding yourself in a large
and expensive Rolls Royce, with leather seats, and surround sound …… it’s
just a whole new experience, and their eyes show it after the first
song,” says Richard Cock.
Since
its debut in 2002, Freshlyground has passionately entrenched itself in South
African culture with its fusion music in live performance and on CD. This is an
unusual opportunity to hear the group with a symphony orchestra, taking their
special sounds into the stratosphere.
The
Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra is one of only two professional symphony
orchestras in South Africa, and it celebrates 100 years of symphonic music in
the city this year.
