Event information
The Cape Town Concert Series 2024 season draws to a close with the award winning Signum String Quartet bringing a very special project to South Africa.
'Bridge the Chasms That Divide' is a celebration of newly commissioned South African works to honour 30 years of democracy interspersed with works of Haydn and Schumann. The quartet features South African Xandi van Dijk on viola, Florian Donderer and Annette Walther on violin and Thomas Schmitz on cello. The project launched in Bremen, Germany on 27 April 2024 and the quartet is set to tour across South Africa in November.
The new compositions were especially commissioned by the Signum Quartet with the support of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation. The tour is supported by the Goethe Institute and Volker Schütte, South African Honorary Consul in Bremen (Germany).
