Meet your MC for the evening: Mr Otto Van Der Walt

Otto presents the English and Afrikaans news, Matinee, The Choral Life and Our Living Community on Fine Music Radio. He has a passion for choirs and choir music. He believes music – and specifically choral/group singing – bridges all divides and brings people together. He also believes that South African choirs, with their rich diversity, do not get enough recognition in South Africa, even though outside of its borders, they are rated some of the world’s best. He has made it his life mission to correct this.

BO Produksies:

Babette & Olga - a multi-faceted female duo that can play more than 5 instruments combined! These ladies offer a dynamic variety of ensemble options ranging from accordion, piano and percussion, piano and flute to accordion/piano and bass guitar. They regularly perform at weddings and corporate functions playing well-known classical music, pop, gypsy jazz and French café music.

Olga Leonard completed her Masters’ degree in Performing Arts at the University of Pretoria majoring in piano, flute and voice. She received her UNISA Performers Licenciate cum laude and has won various accolades for her playing. Not only is she a professional player but she is also a competent arranger/composer.

Olga stays in Cape Town working as a full time musician: teaching, accompanying, performing and composing.

Babette Viljoen is a versatile and highly skilled musician playing multiple instruments: piano, violin, organ, accordion and bass guitar.
