Our Sponsor of the annual physical event in the Kirstenbosch Gardens, Pick n Pay, have kick started the donations “thermometer” with a R 100 000.00 donation. Your R 85.00 donation will go a long way to supporting Rotary run community projects.

This year, due to Covid-19 regulations, we have decided to share Cape Town Carols at Kirstenbosch 2020 with our loyal patrons who supported us at the Physical Event in the past, and also allows us to broadcast the event worldwide in an online video format.

The physical CAPE TOWN CAROLS at KIRSTENBOSCH hosted by KIRSTENBOSCH ROTARY and Proudly Sponsored by Pick n Pay cannot be hosted in the magnificent Kirstenbosch Gardens this year during December 2020 due to Covid-19 regulations.

CAPE TOWN CAROLS at KIRSTENBOSCH is an iconic Cape Town institution experienced by thousands of families each year.

It is presented by the Rotary Club of Kirstenbosch as its main fund-raising event every year.

In keeping with our successful Carols format we will present pre-Carols entertainment –a musical mix for all – provided by gifted local talent, recognised here and abroad, including: classical crossover group Sterling EQ, the Tygerberg Children’s Choir, our number one children’s choir in the world; the Drums and Pipes of the Cape Town Highlanders; Rosanthorn Electric Trio and 8 Misses Croon.

This will be followed by the narration of the message of Christmas, with music by The Flowers Band and our very own Cape Town Concert Brass Band, with Carols sung by ALL of us and the solo voices of Blaine Josephs, Kirsten Pienaar and Gabriella Knight.

The Rotary Club of Kirstenbosch is a very small club, one of 31,000+ clubs, in 167 countries, with +/- 1,2 million members worldwide, whose motto is “Service Above Self”. Rotary International provides humanitarian services, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill and peace in the world.

We would like to thank:

– the management and staff of the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Cape Town for their ongoing support and for the magical Kirstenbosch Gardens

– our media partner for this event, Cape Town Classical and Jazz station Fine Music Radio, whose vision is to uplift, inspire and entertain us;

– the small volunteer staff of technicians, musicians, performing artists who each year make Carols possible.

– A very big thank you to our Sponsor of the annual physical event in the Kirstenbosch Gardens, Pick n Pay, who have kick started the donations “thermometer” with a R 100 000.00 donation.

This is an extremely generous donation by a sponsor who Rotary is very proud to be associated with. Thank you to Pick n Pay for their unwavering support to Rotary.

All we now ask is for each family, listening or reading this Virtual Carols promotion to go to the Quicket ticketing website and search for Cape Town Carols to purchase a ticket at R 85.00 which will give you two (2) accesses to the video streamed event between the 10^th and 25^th December 2020.
