THE first “Shine” musical extravaganza takes place at Durban High School’s DC Thompson Hall on 25 April at 6pm.
The concert will showcase both individuals and groups of music students who have been trained at the Chris Seabrooke Music Centre. They will perform in collaboration with Durban Girls’ High School music students under the leadership of Miss Melindie Pretorius.
In her first year as the director of the Chris Seabrooke Music Centre at Durban High School, well-known singer, Natalie Rungan, noticed that there were few platforms provided for music students who were learning instruments to perform on. Musicals and drama productions were plentiful, but the old school music concert somehow didn’t seem to make its appearance.

This was the impetus that inspired her to calendar the event and write the theme song for Shine. “I wanted to create a platform where students who are gifted in music will be able to do just that – to sing, play their instruments in front of an audience and basically to shine as musicians. Music students are very special, even peculiar, and many of them are complete introverts who don’t necessarily thrive in performances that require them to act and or dance.”
Tickets cost R30. For bookings email: musicadmin@durbanhighschool.co.za or call 065 865 1029.
