At "Four Countries, Four Voices", four remarkable young South African singers will enchant the dinner guests with songs/arias from four countries in Europe – paired with the cuisine of those countries, prepared by the excellent chefs of The Forum. Diemersfontein Wines will contribute the accompanying wines for the evening.
The event is hosted by the Excellence out of Africa Trust (a passion project of David and Susan Sonnenberg, founders of Diemersfontein). All proceeds raised go to the trust, which allocates the funds toward supporting our nation's brightest vocal talents – funding master classes, travel bursaries for international auditions, and study subsidies.
By joining us, you aren't just attending a dinner; you’re contributing to the launching of a career!
