The heart of the Karoo comes alive with the sounds of music, the aromas of curated cuisine and the shared joy of community celebration, as Kaleidoscope Festival takes over Prince Albert for a three-day musical and culinary experience.
Kaleidoscope is not just a festival - it’s a cultural journey that blends world-class classical and chamber music with food and wine inspired by the heritage of the Karoo. From intimate concerts in historic buildings to gourmet pairings under wide Karoo skies, each day has something exciting to offer.
The lineup includes performances by renowned artists such as Hendrik Hofmeyr, Minette du Toit-Pearce, the ARCO Youth Orchestra and members of the Cape Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. In addition, the programme will also feature performances by celebrated musicians including Schalk Joubert, Nick Turner, Louise Lansdown and Tony Alcock. Concerts will be held at iconic venues including The Swartberg Pass, The Yellow House and Gays Dairy, each offering a unique atmosphere that enhances the musical experience.
