The KZN Philharmonic Orchestra gave a free concert to a very full audience at the ICC last Thursday morning
It was entitled Share the Love and had a Valentines theme with Clive Gumede and Natalie Rungan as soloists
It was in the presence of Mayor Cllr Gumede, ICC CEO Lindiwe Rakharebe, and the orchestras Bongani Tembe
The audience was delighted when Cllr Gumede was invited on stage to conduct the orchestra as the final piece of the hour long programme (the William Tell Overture)
In the audience was a delightful gogo Florence Mthalane, who was celebrating her 95th birthday
The audience was made up of members of the public, and the citys marginalised retirement homes, special needs centres and care facilities
All three speakers spoke enthusiastically of the partnership between the city, the ICC and the KZN Philharmonic
