View photos of our October 2024 Sunset Concert
Sunday 16 March 25: Please join us as we play into autumn on the lawns of the John Baxter Amphitheatre. Our Term 1 Sunset Concert takes great pleasure in not only bringing you the talents of our WBHS musicians but also those of Wynberg Girls’ High in the Combined Concert Band performance, and features a magnificent set of pieces by guest performers, the Cape Town Concert Brass.
Bring your picnic blankets, chairs, and beverages, dress for the evening cool, and while admission is no charge, the Music Department will be running a raffle and selling boerewors rolls to raise funds towards the Music Tour of the Southern Cape in the mid-year holidays – we look forward to welcoming you!
Let us entertain you …
