With Women’s Day falling in August in South Africa, the month takes on a feminine theme. PSG Wealth hosted a women’s month financial road show for their female clients. The evening highlighted the role women can play in shaping their financial futures. I had my note book ready and learnt a few things whilst performing at these events!

Thanks team Hands On and Boswell Wilkie Circus for making all the backing happen.
This lovely little ballad from The Wizard of Oz just never gets old and a special number to relive some childhood memories.
The song is included in the violin exam repertoire currently which is the reason for the video recording.
The Red-Carpet Violin is a show-stopper welcoming act for events. This photo was taken at a recent event for Avroy Shlain.
At a recent public performance in the new Loftus Park centre a little boy drew me this picture on the back of a menu and rather shyly handed it over.
It is so lovely to play at venues where children get to hear the violin performed. To see the look of surprise and amazement on their faces it truly special.
A translation of the text reads ‘You play beautiful violin’
Loftus Park have great restaurants and a stage/activity area. Next time you’re in the area , pop in!
It was a treat to perform for the ‘Human.Nature’ photographic exhibition by Natalie Field held recently at the Berman Contemporary Gallery in Sandton, which attracted much interest from art lovers and investors. The beautiful shots from a recent artist-in-residence programme capture mythology, nature and the human form exquisitely.

Wedding season continues as the long Summer months lazily stretch on. This wedding event was at the Hertford Hotel in Lanseria.
The venue has a serene all-white chapel which is where this photo was taken. A lovely couple and a beautiful venue, made the day a treat!
Tucked into the valley of the majestic Berg mountains this lovely spot is a perfect way to start off the new year. This event is for a company setting their compass for the year. I too am looking forward to a walk in the fresh mountain air when my violin performance is done.
As the Christmas season fast approaches and Carols are heard everywhere, I was very glad to hear my album Gloria Vol 1. Instrumental Christmas Carols for Violin and Guitar has been getting some airplay on Classic FM.
Refreshing yet festive takes on well-known Carols arranged for Violin and Guitar. If you would like to listen to the album, search Gloria Vol 1. Instrumental Christmas Carols for Violin and Guitar by Kristel Birkholtz on your streaming platform of choice.
Over a glorious sunset on a peachy day in Johannesburg, car fundis gathered on the rooftop of Sandton City for the Land Rover/Jaguar Two Icons Tour.
Performing violin on a raised platform on top of one of Sandton’s sky-rises felt like being on top of the world!
