From the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean to the shores of Cape Town comes a group of a cappella singers that personifies talent and encapsulates outstanding entertainment – the Yale Spizzwinks (?). The group came into existence in 1914 at Yale University and the torch has been passed down the generations of gifted performers to its current 18 members. The group incorporates an array of musical genres in their performances, including jazz, pop and rock ‘n’ roll.

The Spizzwinks (?) have won over fans including the likes of Magic Johnson, Henry Kissinger, Kelsey Grammer, former Governor George Pataki, Senator John Kerry, and Fred Savage. Furthermore, the group is enjoyed by audiences at ESPN, Disney World, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Carnegie Hall, the Honda Centre, Severance Hall and even the White House. They have carried out shows in Asia, South America, Africa, Europe, the United States and New Zealand; and now South Africa will once again have the honour of their visit.

It is with absolute pleasure and keen anticipation that Winchester Mansions will generously host the Spizzwinks (?) during the Cape Town leg of their South African tour, as the group in turn delights the hotel’s guests with its performances. Not only will their performances bring entertainment, joy and laughter to our part of the globe, as this world renowned group graciously gives of their time, but their presence in South Africa will also seek to uplift communities and enhance cultural interactions. Winchester Mansions welcomes guests to take up this opportunity to be thoroughly entertained and to support the good cause behind the group’s performances.

Thanks to the support and sponsorship that the Spizzwinks (?) have received from schools, the group’s alumni board, and hotels like Winchester Mansions, property group Remax Living, they are able to perform at De Waal Park.

Concert-goers are encouraged to arrive from 14h00, and bring their own picnics (no food or drinks will be for sale), chairs, sun umbrellas, rugs, etc. De Waal Park is located on Molteno Road with entrances on Molteno, Upper Orange and Camp Streets.
