As a sought-after performer she has graced stages at prestigious events across SA, Europe and the UAE. Her portfolio, under Red Cello Productions, boasts show-stopping acts such as The Bubble, Rosanthorn Trio, CODA Africa, and The Galaxy Dress. Her debut album was nominated for the Best Instrumental Album at the SAMA\u2019s. Moreover, her latest cello album, \u201cSanctuary,\u201d is now available on all streaming platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each ticket includes a complimentary welcome drink and a snack. Children are heartily welcomed, and entertainment for them will be provided. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own picnic baskets, blankets, and chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that all proceeds from this event will benefit the Country Kids Playschool in Franschhoek. Thorns shares: \u201cI am performing for Country Kids because it\u2019s where our daughter, Emily, attended from ages 2 to 4. This school introduced us to wonderful friends who remain a significant part of our lives. It provided Emily with a nurturing and supportive foundation for her future education. This performance is my tribute to the power of connection, community, and kindness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tickets are available from QUICKET at R295 for adult tickets (includes welcome drink and snack) and R25 for kids tickets (includes entertainment for children).
