EthAerial Violinist
Way up high a tender feel-good tune rings out on electric violin while text, projected onto the long skirt sends motivational messages to the audience.

Awards Evening
A performance for internal staff awards event at The University of Johannesburg was the lovely cosy spot for tonight’s event. The campus grounds were lush with the Jacarandas just coming into bloom.
It was the first evening that the staff of the department had all been in the same room since the start of the pandemic, making for a warm , joyful mood as guests caught up and as one guest remarked -she was so happy to be dressed up to the nines again!

Come Dine With Me
Despite the very cold wintry day music, wine and fine dining was the highlight of a private dinner party, ‘Come Dine With Me’ -style. Guests rose to the challenge and dressed up in their finest. All were treated to a red carpet walk accompanied by moi on violin.
‘Liewe Kristel, BAIE dankie vir jou asemrowende bydrae tot ons LIEFLIKE samesyn! Jy het so spontaan en entoesiasties by ALLES ingeval asof ons dit oor en oor vooraf bespreek het….
MWHAH! Jy gaan beslis weer van my hoor’

A sumptuous dinner cooked for friends, complete with table décor, dress up and live music.

Singing Telegram
With my violin replaced by a bunch of bright balloons and a hamper of champagne, I set off to deliver a musical telegram, a message sung to the well-known ‘Time after Time’ by Cindy Lauper. The celebration was for a local company merger with a new supplier.
The balloons caused quite a stir at the office block and the look of surprise and engagement on the faces of the board-meeting members as I sang the message, was priceless.
