Johannesburg Musical Society brings Classic Broadway to Johannesburg – a concert to lighten the spirits at 5 pm on Sunday, August 16. The show featuring the Charl du Plessis Trio will take place in the Linder Auditorium.The show includes well-loved songs by Leonard Bernstein, George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Cole Porter and Kurt Weill.

The Charl du Plessis Trio is recognised for their wonderful blend of sophisticated showmanship and their panache, and for this concert they will be joined by tenor Musanete, who will add his mellow voice to the mix of piano, bass and percussion.

The trio will play music from Westside Story – one of Broadway’s greatest musicals – and music from the pens of other composers who wrote for the ‘Great White Way’ and whose music, tried and tested by performance over many decades, has now become part of musical history. This will be a programme that delights both ear and heart.

Tickets range from R185 to R150 at the door. Scholars and students 23 years and under with a valid student card pay only R30. Please note that there is no credit card facility at the Linder. Also note: the entrance to the Linder is now in Victoria Road. Inquiries: www.jms.org.za
