The Cape Town Concert Series

The Cape Town Concert Series was founded in 1955, under the name of the Cape Town Concert Club, by Hans Kramer, his wife Greta, and businessman Boris Canin, to provide a platform in the Mother City for the finest international artists before the public at that time, artists whose recordings were available at Hans Kramer's famous Home of Music in Long Street, the city's largest (and, at one time, only) retailer of classical recordings. Admission to its performances was by membership only.

In 1997 the Concert Club was renamed the Cape Town Concert Series, and its presentations are now enjoyed by both subscriber and non-subscriber music lovers alike in Cape Town and its environs.

Since its inception, the Concert Club/Concert Series has presented 703 recitals, most of the performers coming from abroad, but not exclusively so. Click here to see a full list of the artists presented.

Today, as one of South Africa's leading and most prestigious chamber music organisations, the Cape Town Concert Series provides a platform where the finest South African talents from all sections of our country's diverse communities are presented alongside the best on offer from the international community.
