North-West University (NWU) academics Prof Tinus Botha and Thomas Erlank recently gave a lunch hour recital at the Chris Seabrooke Music Hall at the Wits University School of Arts.

Dr Peter Cartwright, a piano lecturer at the Wits School of Arts, launched the lunch-hour concerts programme, and invited the NWU musos to perform a selection of works by Schubert, Schumann, and Beethoven.

The lunch-hour concert was well attended and warmly received by students from Wits’ School of Arts.

“It is always a wonderful experience to share music. Being able to perform at Wits also gave us the opportunity to establish connections and to build relationships that will hopefully result in beneficial exchanges for the students and staff from both universities,” says Thomas.
