Gian Groen het seker geen bekendstelling nodig nie en na 4 jaar se stilte is dit seker hoogtyd dat daar ‘n nuwe cd die lug sien, en is dit ook seker baie gepas dat dit Stiltetyd genoem word. En aangesien Gian 4 jaar laas ‘n CD uitgebring het, watter beter dag as Skrikkeldag om by die Boer op te tree. Almal wat Gian (die Rocker) nou al vanaf die goeie ou “Spinnekop” dae af volg, is in vir ‘n groot verrassing. Stiltetyd is totale nuwe klank. Daar is weg gedoen met al die skreuende kitare en Gian fokus nou op ‘n baie meer klavier gedrewe rustige gevoel in sy nuwe musiek. Op die 29ste Februarie om 20:30 is Gian Groen en sy volle band te sien by die Boer Restaurant Teater in Durbanville, waar sy nuutste CD, “Stiltetyd” vir die eerste keer in die Kaap te koop sal wees. Stiltetyd is ‘n rustige 12 snit album vol ballades. 10 van die snitte is uit Gian se pen. Dan is daar ook ‘n Lucas Maree, en’n Valiant Swart song op vir ‘n bietjie afwisseling.

A semi-dramatized exploration of Monteverdi madrigals Renaissance poetry treats the topic of love as a fully consuming, deeply unsettling, initiatory experience, leaving one or both parties fatally wounded. With constant reference to the armed god of love, images of piercing eyes with lethal glances, cruel beauty and torn hearts abound. Marvel at Monteverdi’s ingenious translations of this imagery into richly sonorous and dramatically congruous music, in a stirring performance by the Cape Consort. This group of musicians has carved themselves an enviable reputation of being the best performers of ancient style madrigal music. Audiences can be confident that this performance will afford them an experience that is equally satisfying in all dramatic and musical respects. This is thoroughly in tune with the art form over the many centuries of madrigal music making such as the music of Claudio Monteverdi ( 1567-1643). Antoinette Blyth and Lente Louw (soprano’s), Nick de Jager and Lance Phillip (tenor’s), Charles Ainslie (bariton), Andrew Cruickshank (harpsichord) en Hans Huyssen (barokcello).

During the months of February and March, De Krans Wine Cellar, situated in the quaint little town of Calitzdorp alongside the well known Route 62, will once again offer visitors to the area the opportunity to pick deliciously sweet Hanepoot grapes. This fun-filled picking experience will take place from 8 February to 3 March 2012, and will be made available every day (except Sundays) from 08h00 until 16h00. Grapes cost R4.90/kg and visitors are welcome to bring their own containers. Alternatively containers can be purchased at De Krans at a minimal cost.

As these meals have proven to be extremely popular in the past, booking is essential. Besides picking their own grapes, a visit to this award-winning cellar also affords visitors the opportunity to sample, at no extra cost, their range of 2011 award-winning wines. One of these being the De Krans Cape Tawny Port, a double gold medal winner at the 2011 Michelangelo International Wine Awards, Champion Private Wine Cellar at the 2011 SA Young Wine Show and more recently received a 5-star rating in the 2012 Platter's South African Wine Guide for the De Krans 2009 Cape Vintage Reserve Port.

GOOD NIGHT, A PROVACTIVE ART EXHBITION EXPLORING THE POWER AND FRAGILITY OF WOMEN Established South African artist, Heike Davies, will hold her first solo exhibition since 2005, at the Barnard Gallery from the 2nd of February 2012. The exhibition entitled “Good-Night”, will feature bold figurative mixed media paintings that explore the power of female sexuality. This powerful exhibition of 30 paintings, explores the contradictory perceptions of women as objects of desire, abuse and fear. “The work talks about female sexuality, as one of the most powerful forces, yet it is the very thing that renders women completely vulnerable,” says Davies. The emotive work combines elements from traditional portraiture with something that is more uncomfortable and raw. Her subjects, a pantheon of women, some taken from commercial mass media images, others are women from the sex industry, and some are friends. The differences between them are blurred and merged; it is difficult to tell which are prostitutes, fashion models, friends or porn stars. On the canvases the subjects merge into a nameless, faceless confrontation, they are all portrayed as women in a way that is fragile yet fierce in their strength. The works juxtapose vulnerability and assertion. Many of the subjects shut their eyes in escape from the viewers prying eyes, to evade the questions, judgments, yet somehow they are all very present. Yet, others are painted in a formal frontal perspective and challenge the viewer directly with their very direct confrontational gazes. Yet all somehow manage to present themselves naked before you, vulnerable, defiant and beautiful. This work portrays women in unadulterated honesty, contrasting virtue with a common and underlying primal sense of allure. The over-riding feeling of the works is beauty – and the complexity that surrounds beauty – the blessing and the curse of being female. “Heike’s latest body of work is a both powerful and thought provoking, a must view for those looking to be inspired, “ concludes Chris Barnard, owner of the Barnard Gallery. The exhibition will open on the 2nd of February 2012 and run until of 7th of March 2012. Visit www.barnardgallery.com for more information or email info@barnardgallery.com to receive regular updates about the exhibition. About the Artist: Davies, was born in 1976, has a BA degree in Fine Art from the Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town, in 2000. During her studies she was awarded the Maciver Scholarship (1999 and 2000) and was placed on the Dean’s Merit List (1999 and 2000. Her work is represented in the public and corporate art collections of: SANG, Pretoria Art Museum, Sanlam, Sandton

The story of the sinking of the SS Mendi - one of the worst marine disasters in history - hits the Baxter in February for a short season. One of the greatest tragedies in the history of the South African military will be vividly brought to life when Did We Dance: Ukutshona ko Mendi (The Sinking of the Mendi) hits the Baxter Golden Arrow Studio from 23 February to 10 March at 7pm nightly with matinées on 25 February and 10 March at 2pm. A formidable creative team and eight-member cast has been assembled to tell the epic story of South African soldiers trapped on the SS Mendi as it fatefully sank in British waters during World War I in 1917. The script is based on the book Black Valour by Norman Clothier. Narrated through African elements, sounds and movements, Did We Dance: Ukutshona ko Mendi, is written by Lara Foot, directed by Mandla Mbothwe and developed by the company, and features Warona Seane, Bongo Nkani, Owen Manamela-Mogane, Thando Doni, Apollo Ntshoko, Bongile Mantsai, Mongezi Ncwadi and Xolani Ngesi. The production sails into Cape Town following a highly successful premiere in King William’s Town in October last year. It brings together a hugely talented team and group of performers from across South Africa to create moments from our history that speak of the bravery of these men nearly a century ago.

The Cape Peninsula Organisation for the Aged is hosting a Charity Golf Day at the Rondebosch  Golf Course on Friday 23rd of March 2012 for the benefit of our six sub-economic homes. CPOA as a non-profit Organisation for the aged based in Cape Town, has recognised that the plight of indigent older persons living in South Africa is very real and has faithfully accepted the challenge to care for older persons for the past 57 years through community based services and homes for the frail older person.  At present CPOA houses approx. 500 indigent older persons and renders services to another 2000 community based older persons by means of our senior centres and home help projects. The need to recognise that all older persons have contributed to the development of South Africa, albeit some in small ways, should be a challenge to both the corporate world and communities to offer their support in whichever way possible.  It is also a well-known phenomenon that populations are living longer and are increasingly more dependent on care. Our appeal to you is to support us in making this a memorable day. Please complete the attached Golf Schedule and Help us care to continue to make a difference in the lives of older persons in our care. Although we are fully aware that your company is inundated with requests, we anticipate that you will favourably consider our appeal. Should you be unable to enter a FOURBALL or sponsor a WET HOLE, we will gladly accept and ACKNOWLEDGE any DONATION or PRIZES towards this FUNDRAISING event.  You would, of course, be welcome to send along brochures/flyers for display on the day.
