Trio of Afro-jazz masters All-in-One at the Fugard Theatre

Trio of Afro-jazz masters All-in-One at the Fugard Theatre
Steve Newman, Errol Dyers and Hilton Schilder will perform together at the Fugard Theatre as their band All in One, from 1 – 5 March 2011.


The trio of masters, all three respected musicians and composers in their own right, pay homage to centuries of music practice in Africa and around the world. Their styles are distinct, and their mastery is displayed in the collaborating ways that they blend to create a new sound.

With Dyers and Newman on guitar and Schilder on percussion, they will perform their own compositions, and will also add a few more unique instruments to tell musical stories that originated in Cape Town’s District 6 and, like them, have made its journey all over the world to defy categorization.

All In One plays at the Fugard Theatre from Tuesday 1 March to Saturday 5 March 2011 at 20:00 nightly. Tickets cost R150, with balcony seating at R130 per ticket. Bookings are through the Theatre’s Box Office on 021 461 4554 or with Computicket on www.computicket.com.
