Christmas Carols for a Cause Presented By George Hill

Thursday - 12 December - 10h45

his year we will be entertained with carols by Jean-Paul on the piano, Mike (baritone) and they will be accompanied by a soprano singer. 

We will be gathered to sing along to Christmas carols in aid of supporting Where Rainbows Meet. They are a non-profit organization devoted to the Vrygrond and Cape Town communities.  Through programs, initiatives, and awareness events, they aim to improve the chances of people from the community and therefore offer people from the community the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience within the organisation.  Their activities provide the different groups of the community with information, education and support. The aim of these programmes is to encourage people to take responsibility for their own lives, their families, and the situation in the community. They are also equipped with enhanced working skills in order to decrease unemployment, which in turn will lower drug abuse, domestic violence, child neglect and other social ills.

Bookings are essential - Free seating 

There is no charge for the carols but a donation box will be available for all those who wish to donate to this foundation.
Mince pies and tea/coffee will be available before the concert from Cucina Labia.

Fondazione Labia Drama Kids to Show Off Their Talents

On Saturday 30th November, the Fondazione Labia Drama Kids will be performing their showcase for moms, dads and teachers at their school, Westlake Primary in Westlake. This marks the culmination of drama classes they have been attending at the Casa Labia Cultural Centre every Friday for the last two terms.

The Fondazione Labia has sponsored the drama classes for these 16 learners, aged 9 to 12, who have enjoyed their taste of the world of theatre. The programme, run by Celia Musikanth and Coleen van Staden of Circle Productions, includes mime, character work, movement and basic vocal training and every aspect is done in a fun and accessible way and is perfect as an introduction to the performing arts.

The showcase will include a variety of items that highlight what they have learned. The magic of an audience is a perfect way to end this wonderful opportunity that the Fondazione Labia has afforded these enthusiastic youngsters and they are keen to show off their talents.
