The Franschhoek Hospitality Academy in collaboration with La Cotte Farm, will host an unforgettable evening of music, fine dining and festive elegance on Saturday 8 November at the Franschhoek farm at 17:30.
The summer-gala fundraiser, entitled Sunset Arias, brings internationally-acclaimed artists Lynelle Kenned (soprano), William Berger (baritone) and Stefan Lombard (pianist), along with violinist David Bester and cellist Dane Coetzee together for a world-class performance of opera favourites, Broadway classics and instrumental treasures.
Guests will enjoy Colmant Cap Classique and exquisite canapés by La Cotte Farm’s culinary team, served by the academy’s graduates.
“Every ticket changes a life,” says Jeremy Davids, head of the Franschhoek Hospitality Academy. “The funds raised go directly towards training young people for lasting careers in hospitality, giving them dignity, skills, and a future.”
All proceeds support the academy’s year-long hospitality programme, which combines professional training with hands-on experience and guarantees job placement after graduation.
Since its founding in 2018 the academy has trained more than 500 students, achieving a 96% employment rate and transforming the lives of youth across the Franschhoek Valley and beyond.
