VOX Cape Town enjoys a special relationship with local classical and jazz community radio station, Fine Music Radio (FMR), of which it is also a Silver Benefactor.
FMR 30th Birthday Benefit Gala Concert
We are not the only local musicians celebrating a big birthday this year – Fine Music Radio is also marking three decades on air! On Sunday 6 April at 2:30 PM, FMR will present a magnificent benefit gala concert to commemorate this milestone and to raise much-needed funds. The concert will feature a mix of classical music and jazz, stunning visuals, lighting and sound, and your favourite FMR presenters! VOX is thrilled to be sharing the Artscape Opera House stage with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra, Louise Howlett, William Berger, James Grace, Andrew Ford and many others!
