Carol Thorns Album Launch

ABOUT

Celebrated electric cellist Carol Thorns will be launching her new album Sanctuary at La Roche Estate, Franschhoek.  The event will take place on the island where the album was also recorded - a fitting location for this soulful cello concert.

Carol's engaging performance style and innovative musical concepts have seen her opening for Vanessa Mae and Elton John. A sought-after performer, she has played at prestigious events throughout SA, Europe and the UAE. Her portfolio of original cello projects, Red Cello Productions, include show-stopper acts such as The Bubble, Rosanthorn Trio, CODA Africa and The Galaxy Dress.  Her debut album received a nomination for the Best Instrumental Album at the SAMA's.

Carol’s new release has received rave reviews to date. It is a well-considered collection of original music and covers inspired by the minimalism of Philip Glass and film music of Max Richter. Popular songs such as Quietly Yours (Birdy), Ocean Eyes (Billie Eilish) and Shallow (Lady Gaga) are given brand new treatment that delivers serious emotional punch. Her sumptuous cello gives listeners an opportunity to connect to a more soulful world as it glides over layered strings and piano. This is music for mindfulness, stillness and sanctuary. A perfect start to the new year.
