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!

VioRimba combines the lilting African Rhythms of a Marimba Quartet with the melodious Tin Can Violin. Over the weekend the group had delegates for the for the Regional Annual Sports Awards (RASA) tapping their feet and swaying to the infectious music.

A glitzy red carpet affair was laid out for the launch of The Voice 2016. There was a mood of palpable excitement in the air as media snapped away at artists enjoying the red carpet treatment! On arrivals guests and VIPs were treated to an electric violin performance by Kristel Birkholtz in The Bubble.

Playing violin under this old oak tree was quite a special occasion. The company that worked on the property enjoyed the shade of this stately tree for over 20 years. Many functions, lunches and casual smoke-breaks were had under this tree. On this, their final day at the office, it was fitting to have one last lunch under the tree, complete with a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree and an electric violin performance.

High Fashion and Fast Cars

On Wednesday, an otherwise uneventful and unlit section of Rivonia Road was punctuated by the glimmer of white lights illuminating a muscular line of Aston Martin roadsters on the showroom floor of Aston Martin Sandton. From the sleek silver Vanquish to the red-trimmed black Vantage, these cars look like they’re ready to spring into action even when in repose. Playing classical violin against this backdrop made for an interesting juxtaposition – elegance meets power.

Sharply-dressed Sandton businessmen congregated on the floor of the dealership, displaying their sartorial savoir-faire whilst engaging in lively discussions about the evening’s event. The reason for this gathering? To witness the unveiling of Roi Kaskara’s new collection of bespoke suit designs. Roi Kaskara is the go-to tailor for many of the city’s high-flyers – known for their meticulous attention to detail and finely-crafted menswear.

St Patrick’s Day Fiddler

Inspired by the St Patrick’s Day theme for the Investment Conference Event at Sun City , I wrote this limerick:

A fiddler on Sun City’s Green
Played jigs and reels to the keen
Investors who danced
And brokers who pranced
To let off some conferencing steam

Being an ‘Irish’ fiddler is so much fun as the music is just so playable for the violin. It is wonderful to see how guests from all walks of life tend to respond with a smile or a jig!
