National Arts Festival in Durban

MID-PANDEMIC, the National Arts Festival predicted that for some, the annual arts pilgrimage to Makhanda may be more challenging this year.

So, while a smaller, tighter 11 days will still happen live in Makhanda for the superfans, arts explorers and Eastern Cape audiences, the NAF, with the support of Standard Bank, will also bring select shows to arts lovers in their own home towns.

In Durban, all shows are happening at the Seabrooke’s Theatre.

The Melvin Peters Trio is setting the stage today ((Saturday June 19)) at 6pm. Melvin Peters has performed around the world in different music genres and has worked with many of South Africa’s top musicians, ranging from Abdullah Ibrahim and Winston Mankunku Ngozi through to the Free State Symphony Orchestra and the Cape Town Jazz Orchestra.
