❄️ WINTERREISE - F. Schubert & W. Müller ❄️

The Songmakers’ Guild is thrilled to launch Iconic - a new concert series banner celebrating masterpieces that have helped shape the art song repertoire.

The series begins with Franz Schubert's timeless setting of Wilhelm Müller’s Winterreise - one of the unquestionable turning points in the history of art song. Across its 24 songs, an ailing Schubert confronts his own impending death through the perspective of Müller’s wanderer - a desolate and deeply moving account of love, loss, and the search for life’s elusive meaning. Its unapologetic bleakness and haunting emotional rawness has captivated listeners ever since its inception.

Acclaimed baritone William Berger and the Guild’s former artistic director, pianist Esthea Kruger, join their remarkable creative forces to bring this powerful work to life in what promises to be an unmissable highlight in the Guild’s concert series.

Dates and venues:

🗓️ 13 August 2026 - STELLENBOSCH
📍Johnman Cottage, 19 Herte Street, Stellenbosch Central

🗓️ 14 August 2026 - CAPE TOWN
📍Ian Burgess-Simpson Pianos, 19 Stibitz Street, Westlake

Eucalyptus is often associated with resilience, clarity and renewal. Its symbolism is rooted in the tree’s own qualities: resilience, aromatic freshness, and a long association with care and practical use. It suggests strength without heaviness, and a natural sense of clarity.

In the Eucalyptus fumé Silver grand piano, this character becomes visual. The grain moves softly across the instrument, while the fumé finish reveals warm bronze-like depths and subtle lighter streaks.

A grand piano with a contemporary presence, shaped by a material rich in history and meaning
