FOM @ Bowmans Sunset Soiree 3 2026

The Friends of Orchestral Music are delighted to present a fundraising Sunset Soiree of music and conversation - in collaboration with Bowmans, featuring breathtaking city views, delicious food and statement wines. These sparkling evenings take place on the 11th floor of the Bowmans’ Cape Town office, where guests will be greeted to a sunset drink overlooking the city, before settling down to a mix of chamber music featuring some of South Africa’s finest musicians and a fascinating behind-the-scenes conversation about our music industry. Fom's final soiree of 2026 brings the year full circle - with chamber music, composition and the orchestra in focus. Music comes from Cape Town Philharmonic Youth Ensembles- with the Brass Quintet presenting a sunset serenade followed by the CPYO String Quartet including works with clarinet and a composition by accordionist Loren Ehlers. The topic of new classical music which started at our August soiree continues with musician, composer and arranger Matthijs van Dijk in conversation with CPO presenter Albert Combrink. The evening begins with a welcome drink from 6.30pm and completes with a sumptuous canape supper, delicious wines and the chance to talk to the musicians after the performance. Thanks to the generous support of Bowmans and Bill van Rensburg, the Friends of Orchestral music are able to bring you these unique evenings in order to raise much needed funds for the upliftment and development of orchestral music and musicians across Cape Town. Start time- Thursday 8 October: 6.30 for 7pm. Bowmans’ Cape Town Office, 22 Bree Street, Cape Town. Free Guest parking is available at Bowmans. Limited tickets for the intimate event are available at a price of R610 per person. (FOM members pay a special price of R510) - with all proceeds going to the Friends of Orchestral Music.
