NWU Symphony Orchestra - In Blue

Immerse yourself In Blue on 16 May at 19:00 in the Sanlam Auditorium! The NWU Symphony Orchestra explores the many moods and shades of this captivating colour in a vibrant and evocative programme.

The evening opens with Leaving Home from Avatar: The Way of Water – a powerful and atmospheric beginning. This is followed by Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty Suite, an elegant and beautiful suite filled with wonderful and heart-stirring melodies. Feel the energy of the city that never sleeps in Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, performed by the orchestra’s own pianist, Sergio Tavares – a thrilling highlight from start to finish. No homage to blue would be complete without Johann Strauss’s beloved Blue Danube, transporting us to the charm of Vienna. A moment of reflection follows with Bruch’s deeply moving Kol Nidrei, featuring principal cellist Charles Oliver as soloist. We close the evening back in the ocean with a dazzling selection of music from The Little Mermaid.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of music that captures the beauty, depth, and emotion of blue – and leave your blues behind.
