Invitation of the Bavarian government
It was a great honour and pleasure for Cape Classic that the founder and director of the festival, Gabi Zahn, was invited amongst five other guests for a lunch in honour of H.E. the Premier of the Western Cape Province Ms. Helen Zille, hosted by the Head of the Bavarian State Chancellery, State Minister Siegfried Schneider on Tuesday 25 August in Prinz-Carl-Palais, Munich.
There Gabi Zahn had the chance to talk to the Premier of the Western Cape, Ms. Helen Zille, about the cultural and social work of Cape Classic in South Africa.
Ms. Zille was impressed by the engagement of the German Non Profit Company Cape Classic e.V. and promised Gabi Zahn to support Cape Classic in every possible way.
She even agreed to come to the hand over of the Cape Classic donation of 2009 in Kayamandi as well as to honour Cape Classic by attending if possible one of Cape Classic’s next year’s concerts.
