Vergelegen is the venue for South Africa’s premier Afro-symphonic musical spectacle, the RMB Starlight Classics, on Friday 13 March and Saturday 14 March. The concerts will be staged on the great lawn, near the historic manor house, against a backdrop of camphors and other mature trees.

The line-up will feature a compelling mix of popular and classical music, performed by an outstanding cast including lyric mezzo-soprano Megan Kahts, operatic and bel canto tenor Levy Sekgapane, award-winning singer-songwriter Arno Carstens, and the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra.

Guests are invited to bring their own picnics and camp chairs. Coffee and wine will be available for purchase on site (no bring-your-own wine permitted).

Gates open at 16:00, with parking on the Erinvale field. The concert takes place from 19:30 to 22:30. Tickets are R500 per person. Watch the Starlight Classics video here.
