On Saturday, 4 November, thirty-eight young musos took to the stage at the 15th annual Classical Guitar Competition, hosted at Edgemead High School. The competition gave young primary school students an opportunity to strut their stuff, and the more seasoned high school student did not fail to impress either – the judges definitely had their work cut out!
Bothners wishes to congratulate all students that participated: your performances were incredible! We would like to make special mention of the following winners:
Best Beginner Guitarist: Aidan van der Merwe (Edgemead High School)
Most Promising Guitarist: Luca Duffett (Rondebosch Boys’ Preparatory School)
Best Primary School Guitarist: Caleb Bruiners (Monte Vista Primary School)
Best High School Guitarist: Erica Chen (DF Malan High School)
Best Overall Performance: Erica Chen (DF Malan High School)
Last, but certainly not least, Bothners would like to thank the teachers for their dedication and hard work behind the scenes. Events such as these would be impossible without you. Special thanks to Mr Raphael Williams for building this incredible event over the past 15 years.
We look forward to next year!
