Join us for an unforgettable evening of fine music in the beautiful Glass Conservatory Venue at Vergelegen for a private performance with the Charl du Plessis Trio in their latest production, Bach & Beatles.

Renowned as one of the most celebrated and respected instrumental ensembles in South Africa and beyond, the Charl du Plessis Trio continue to push boundaries with their signature style of crossover music. Effortlessly blending classical, jazz, and pop, the Trio have earned multiple awards and international acclaim through their innovative performances and global tours.

Through masterful arrangements infused with swing, blues, and bossa nova, the Charl du Plessis Trio highlight both the contrasts and unexpected connections between these distinct musical worlds. The result is a concert experience that is both intellectually stimulating and irresistibly entertaining — music of international calibre for lovers of both the classical tradition and contemporary flair. A night not to be missed!
