The Cape Town Concert Series has celebrated over 70 years of music making, with more than 1000 solo and chamber music recitals. In addition 2026 marks the 65th year of our Steinway Grand Piano which is still regarded as one of the finest recital pianos in the country. To complete our International Piano Series for 2026 we present International South African Steinway Artist Ben Schoeman for a programme of iconic piano works spanning history from Bach to Rachmaninoff.

The concert takes place at 11am in the Baxter Concert Hall. Refreshments are on sale, and drinks/coffee can be taken into the hall to enjoy with the music. The Cape Town Concert Series invites the audience to meet our artists in the foyer after the concert to talk more about their music.

This concert is supported by Ian Burgess-Simpson Pianos and the Richard Wagner Societ
