Music brings together Minnesota Orchestra musicians, South ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½n students
It may have been Saturday morning, but hundreds of students, teachers and parents crammed into the Eurocon Primary School in Elsies River — just outside Cape Town, South ÌÇÐÄvlgo´«Ã½ — to welcome members of the Minnesota Orchestra.
The orchestra's two-week tour is taking the musicians to a total of five cities before its done. On Friday night, the players performed to a packed house at Cape Town City Hall. Yet they played just as seriously Saturday for the grade-schoolers and their families in the hard-worn but carefully tended concrete building miles from the bright lights.
