Summer is nothing but a distant memory and the summer concerts at Kirstenbosch are a thing of the past – until next summer! But Cape Town music lovers can still enjoy wonderful local artists perfuming at the Botanical Gardens on the lower slopes of Table Mountain thanks to a new season of Kirstenbosch Winter Warmer Concerts.
These began in early May and will continue through to Sunday 28 October 2009.
