5 reasons to re-visit City Hall

Once you've seen an exhibition, you've seen it ... right? Wrong! At Spier Contemporary 2010, there is always a different way to see the art on exhibition, and there is always something different to see, or do.

Here are four irresistible reasons (besides the art) to re-visit City Hall.

The Imagine City Hall Concert Series continues on the 27th April from 8pm (tickets R50 at the door) with the Akoustik Knot with Sixteen Reasons String Quartet. Expect an intricate fusion of experimental jazz and contemporary classic music – this is a must see. Acoustic Knot is led by SAMA award winner Mark Fransman on the Sax. Strings are a string quartet from the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra.

On the 30th April at 8pm is the VANDALIZIM concert featuring major talents Zim Ngqawana and Kyle Shepherd. Tickets are R70 (at the door)or R50 (pre-sold at Africa Centre).

Spier Contemporary curatorial team member, Farzanah Badsha continues her tours of the exhibition at the City Hall every Wednesday at 11am and every Saturday at 2pm until the 14 May 2010.

The weekend performance sessions continues at Spier Contemporary 2010. With two live performance weekends before the Exhibition closes on the 14th May. The performance weekends are:

* 24 and 25 April; and
* 8 and 9 May.

Performances will run from 11am to 12pm and 3pm to 4pm on the Saturday, and 3pm to 4pm on the Sunday.
