Appearing in our morning concert at the Casa Labia Cultural Centre at 10h45 on Thursday 16 February are two outstanding young violinists, namely Talysa Symons and Donne de Kock. They will be accompanied on piano by the well-known Tertia Visser-Downie. Seventeen-year-old Talysa is currently studying with Prof. Jack de Wet. She has won numerous Gold Medals at Eisteddfods, and recorded three CDs at the age of fourteen. She has appeared with several orchestras in this country.  Donne, also seventeen, has reached the final round of the Sanlam Music Competition, and in 2010 she  was a semi-finalist in the Artscape Youth Music Competition. She has also appeared as soloist with South African orchestras. Their programme will include works by Beethoven, Dohnanyi, Franck, Wieniawski and Greig.
