Swan Lake
What more idyllic stetting for a high tea than the Swan Lake tea garden at Heaven’s Gate, Boksburg.
Lovely eats and nibbles overlooking the lake with a smattering of violin.
State of the Art
The State of the Art Art Gallery 28, 6th st Parkhurst had a bustling opening night this week. Artists and art lovers from all walks of life came along to view the high quality artwork. Good art, great folks and a touch of violin music made this night special!
Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree
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.
Elphin-Shell-Princess Violinist
This Mansion party was not a staid or stiff affair! Upon entering the elegant Munro Hotel, guests were given a five star reception. But around the corner awaited a fun surprise, on the patio were rubber ducks, snooker tables and even mermaids! How did I fit into the scene, well I was the elphin-shell-princess violinist on the shore of course.
Lights, Camera, Action!
An exciting day spent on set filming 2 scenes for an upcoming slot on the popular “Binnelanders” soapie.
I can’t give away any of the plot, but suffice to say I am playing violin in 2 scenes. The slot should air in December so keep watching!
Technology meets Music
Whilst music and violin playing may be traditionally seen as a creative pursuit, I was certainly outnumbered by technology creators who competed in the Cyber Junkyard Competition. The ingenuity was astounding and perhaps I played second fiddle to these creatives!
Violin and the Volvos
Despite the chilly evening on Friday 31 July many Volvo enthusiasts, young and old, braved the cold to be among the first to see the new XC90. There were a range of Classic and Sport model Volvo’s on display from private collectors as well.
My brief was to create drama and suspense with violin music before the great reveal, which went down with much excitement. I couldn’t even get a photo with the new car the crowd was so thick around it!
Song of the Entrepreneur
The room was a-buzz with energy at last night’s Aurik Business Accelerator event. Brilliant entrepreneurs and small business owners from diverse backgrounds and industries converged for the award evening at the prestigious Michelangelo Hotel.
True to entrepreneurial flair, networking never stops. So while performing violin over the dinner service, a couple of unabashed entrepreneurs networked with me. Song of the entrepreneur!
