St Georges Unplugged - Free Classical Lunch Concerts in the heart of the City. 1.15pm to 2pm

Tuesday 7th October: Ubuntu Brass Quintet
The Ubuntu Brass Quintet comprises full and part-time members of the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra. They will present a programme of Brass Music Through the Ages.

These concerts offer a variety of classical music in an informal and friendly way. They are introduced by the musicians, and patrons are invited to sit, unwind, ‘unplug’ and contemplate through music in the iconic surroundings of St Georges Cathedral in the heart of the City.

Concerts are free of charge as the Cathedral remains an open space for all, but donations are welcome to help fundraise for the Cathedral's much needed building repairs and maintenance along with concert running costs. Facility for credit card and cash will be available at the door, but you can reserve your attendance and make a donation in advance via Quicket

The St George’s Unplugged was established with two primary objectives:

  • To connect individuals to the historic and spiritual surroundings of St George’s Cathedral, offering an in-depth experience through music, with immediate support being raised through donations collected at the door to assist with maintenance and repairs.
  • To connect people living in and visiting Cape Town to the diverse and high-quality classical music industry present throughout the year.

**Sponsorship of the Artists fees is being raised privately. If you would like to donate to the 2026 series (running from 13 Jan to 25 March) please email info@louisehowlett.co.za.**
