Sluit Dinsdag 8 Junie 2021 om 18:30 aanlyn aan om te luister na die grootsheid en prag van die orkestrale kunslied soos uitgevoer deur bariton Dolf Mathee en sy duo vennoot Jana Mathee. Die uitvoer van die volledige tien Rückert gedigte (die Rückert-Lieder en Kindertotenlieder), soos getoonset deur Gustav Mahler, is 'n seldsame verskynsel in enige liedkonsert. Dit word gevolg deur Sechs Monologe aus “Jedermann” – Ses Monoloë vir Jan Alleman – 'n Suid-Afrikaanse première. Hierdie sangsiklus volg die transendentale reis van 'n gemiddelde man in die hiernamaals – vanaf die oomblik van sy afsterwe tot en met sy saligmaking.
