The Baxter Theatre is excited to announce the launch of a series of live summer concerts, Sun-Set@Baxter, in the newly landscaped Baxter Garden.
Well-known, SAMA-nominated singer, Majozi kicked off the season on Sunday, 28 November 2021, at 6pm. Next up on the bill will be Matthew Mole (pictured left) on 19 December followed by Zolani Mahola, The One Who Sings on 30 January 2022.
Having won the South African Music Award for pop album of the year with his third album Ghost (2019), Matthew Mole is well versed in using multiple instruments to create his hits, all of which he plays himself. His approach is to start with a melody or lyrical idea and then fill it out by recording various instruments into his works. His latest hit, I’m with you, an indie-pop gem, is testament to why his fans have come to appreciate his eclectic approach to love songs and music in general.
Zolani Mahola, who now goes as The One Who Sings, will perform songs from her recently released debut solo album, Thetha Mama. She is no stranger to The Baxter’s stage where, in 2019, she launched her solo career by writing and performing in her one-woman show The One Who Sings, which won her the prestigious Fleur du Cap award for Best Actress in a Musical. Storyteller, soulful singer, award-winning actress and an inspirational icon, The One Who Sings is well-loved and respected by South Africans for unifying the country through music and bridging social, racial and cultural divides.
Bring picnics and blankets
This is the first in a series of not-be-missed garden concerts to welcome the summer and enjoy an afternoon of popular music in an idyllic setting. The beautiful garden is the perfect venue for a picnic for the whole family to enjoy. Patrons are encouraged to bring along picnic baskets and blankets, but all alcohol will only be permitted if purchased from The Baxter’s on-site bar. Doors open at 5pm and the performance starts at 6pm.
