MOSSEL BAY NEWS - Music lovers can look forward to an afternoon of orchestral and choral music when the Carpe Musicam! Concert Orchestra and Choir presents its latest programme, Winter with Carpe Musicam!, at the Curro Mossel Bay school hall on Sunday 12 July.
The performance is one of the ensemble's frequent concerts across the Garden Route, with concerts held in George, Mossel Bay and Sedgefield.
The orchestra and choir present four themed concert series each year, amounting to 12 performances annually.
