Another Evening of Poetry and Music

Aberdeen Books and Crafts, in conjunction with the NGK in Aberdeen, is presenting an evening of poetry and music on Thursday 8th March at 6pm for 6.30.  Dinner will be served, cooldrinks will be on sale, and guests are welcome to bring their own wine (and glasses !). The event is being staged in the NGK Church Hall in Aberdeen, and the evening is in aid of Aalwynhof Old Age Home in the town.

Over 30 people are involved in the production, with about 20 actually on stage on the night. Members of the New Apostolic Church orchestra and choir will be performing some well-known works, and the clear soaring soprano of Esteline de Jager will no doubt be one of the highlights of the evening. On a lighter note, the renowned trio of male singers who made their debut at the previous poetry evening will be making another appearance by popular request – ladies get your cameras ready!

This event received very enthusiastic reviews the last time it was held, and is expected to be a sell-out again this year.  Tickets are available from Aberdeen Books and Crafts at R85 per head, or contact Sue on 083 794 2262. Please book soon, as seating arrangements are limited and tend to be difficult  for late comers.  Unfortunately, for this reason tickets will NOT be on sale at the door, and for catering purposes, bookings need to be confirmed by Monday 5th March. Please note that due to the length of the programme, the evening is not suitable for young children.
