Live Music Sundays returns to the Delheim wine estate in Stellenbosch, starting on Sunday July 7 and ending Sunday August 25.
According to the estate, each afternoon will see a different live musical performance at the venue, featuring a diverse array of musicians and styles. This eclectic programme will range from traditional Bavarian and German music, jazz to contemporary pop covers with a bit of romantic French tossed in for good measure.
Shows will be accompanied by the estate’s cheese fondue with traditional Gluhwein served on arrival. The lunch also includes an appetiser before the fondue, coffee and dessert is served and Delheim’s range of wines will be sold at cellar prices.
On July 7, kicking off the Live Music Sundays are the Hungarian Trio (traditional French) with romance, and excitement as the strolling musicians will serenade guests Hungarian-style.
Sunday July 14, it’s the turn of Adolf Thelen with a serving of traditional German, Bavarian and Swiss Music.
Then on Sunday July 21, Hugo Veldsman will entertain audiences with contemporary classics. His incorporation of the lapsteel guitar became a favoured instrument in his arsenal, especially his signature Imperial Weissenborn.
The Nick Ford Project takes to the stage on Sunday July 28. Nick Ford, a Cape Town bassist and composer’s music ensemble presents an inspired South African jazz sound.
