Women are taking center stage in the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra’s World Symphony Spring Season. The events take place over three consecutive Thursdays—October 31, November 7, and November 14—at Durban’s Playhouse Opera Theatre.
Each concert will spotlight a female soloist, with one concert also featuring a woman conductor.
The season boasts a carefully curated selection of vibrant pieces, showcasing works by Beethoven, Haydn, Chopin, Borodin, Bruch, Dvořák, Rossini, Sibelius, and Tchaikovsky.
The opening concert on October 31 will feature Brazilian-born conductor Marcelo Lehninger, who will lead a program that includes Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture, Op. 62, Haydn’s Symphony No. 104 in D Major, and others. This concerto will be performed by the talented 22-year-old British pianist Jeneba Kanneh-Mason.
Season tickets and individual concert bookings for the KZN Philharmonic are available at Quicket.

Tucked within the exclusive Korhaan River Estate, where fewer than 30 families share in the quiet luxury of open skies, river breeze and uninterrupted privacy, this remarkable property brings country living to life with elegance, intention, and a touch of soul.
Set along the gentle Leeuspruit River — just a short flow from the mighty Vaal — the estate unfolds across 70,500m² of manicured grounds, three shimmering dams, and sweeping lawns made for unhurried afternoons. It’s the kind of setting where mornings begin with birdsong and evenings settle beneath a canopy of stars — whether as a permanent sanctuary or a sophisticated weekend retreat from city rush.
