SAMRO finalists to battle for top honours
Following Thursday’s intermediate round at UNISA, four pianists will be giving their all in a bid to win one of two R160 000 SAMRO Overseas Scholarships on Saturday, 29 August 2009.
Twelve semi-finalists competed at UNISA’s ZK Matthews Hall for a shot at the two attractive scholarships on offer, and following a gruelling day of performances the adjudicators selected two finalists in each category.
They are:
* Jazz/Popular Music: André Petersen and Bokani Dyer
* Western Art Music: Olga Rademan and Gareth Ross
SAMRO Endowment’s Overseas Scholarships Competition has launched the career of many a local music star since its inception in 1962. Each scholarship, worth R160 000 (plus a R10 000 travel allowance), will enable the winner to study music at postgraduate level at a recognised international tertiary institution.
Limited seats are available for Saturday’s gala evening at UNISA’s ZK Matthews Hall, and ticket enquiries may be directed to Alpha Mampane at 011 712 8000 or alpha.mampane@samro.org.za.
