St George's Unplugged -Albert Combrink

St Georges Unplugged - Free Classical Lunch Concerts in the heart of the City. 1.15pm to 2pm

In the lead up to the new series of concerts for 2026, there will be 4 concerts taking place at St George's Cathedral on the First Tuesday of September, October, November and December.

Tuesday 2nd December: Albert Combrink with Louise Howlett

Pianist Albert Combrink brings the year to a festive finish with a concert of calm away from the chaos of the year. Soprano Louise Howlett joins for some contemplative songs from the Prayer to Walking in Air and finishing with O Holy Night.

The concerts offer a variety of classical music in an informal and friendly way. They are introduced by the musicians, and patrons are invited to sit, unwind, ‘unplug’ and contemplate through music in the iconic surroundings of St Georges Cathedral in the heart of the City.

Concerts are free of charge as the Cathedral remains an open space for all, but donations are welcome to help fundraise for the Cathedral's much needed building repairs and maintenance along with concert running costs. Facility for credit card and cash will be available at the door, but you can reserve your attendance and make a donation in advance here via Quicket

The St George’s Unplugged was established with two primary objectives:

• To connect individuals to the historic and spiritual surroundings of St George’s Cathedral, offering an in-depth experience through music, with immediate support being raised through donations collected at the door to assist with maintenance and repairs.

• To connect people living in and visiting Cape Town to the diverse and high-quality classical music industry present throughout the year.

Sponsorship of the Artists fees is being raised privately. If you would like to donate to the 2026 series (running from 13 Jan to 25 March) please email [email protected].
