The two are both in their0 own rights at the forefront of classical music in South Africa and have played in the Johannesburg Philharmonic, the Johannesburg festival, the Johannesburg Music initiative and the Cape Philharmonic.




Adding a sweet harmony to the ensemble is female vocalist Shalamar, like many of her counterparts, started her vocal training in the aisles of the church, however it was whilst performing in a Joyous Celabration musical along side the now very well known Presley ala TSOTSI fame that she linked up with her male counterparts.
