BLUE DOWNS MUSICIAN: AFFORDED LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY
Local talent needs help BRENDEN RUITER @ruitervaniewind
A
young tenor, pianist, and teacher from Blue Downs have recently been offered an opportunity to attend and participate in masterclasses in Venice, Italy. This opportunity also means he will have the opportunity to perform in the Figaro Opera Society’s production of La Traviata. Nathan Zachary Lewis has been doing music since the age of five. “I completed my bachelor’s degree in music at Stellenbosch University (US), specialising in solo piano performance and thereafter continued private singing lessons with Jolene McCleland-Kappis. My love of music comes from the Lord. I am not aware of anybody else in my family that shares my journey. I do believe schools that promote choral singing, church choirs, families that sing together, if it is good or bad, do really influence the love for the craft in young children,” says Lewis. Lewis sent an audition through to the Figaro Opera Society as per the requirements and was accepted. “They noted that I was not only a singer but also had significant piano abilities, something which is rare among singers. Upon their discovery of my pianistic abilities, they provided a R10 000 scholarship in order to assist me to get to Venice, however, it is a mere drop in the bucket of funds that still need to be obtained. “Due to the short notice, I am currently left scurrying for assistance whether it be financial or paid performance opportunities, essentially, any assistance possible,” says Lewis. Lewis says this is an opportunity of a lifetime and he hopes that money doesn’t hold him back. “I am not looking for handouts and that is why I am offering paid performances. This is not just an opportunity for me, but also for my community and the country,” says Lewis. Lewis will travel to Italy on 15 July. If you want to book him for a performance or sponsor his trip call 072 521 4248.
