INTERNATIONAL TENOR TO VISIT TIN CAN BAY

Tin Can Bay – 15 December, 2007

International tenor, Stephan Potgieter will be the guest singer at the Tin Can Bay Community Carols by Candlelight on Saturday, 15 December at 6.30 pm in the Lions Park next to the RSL.

Stephan Potgieter (rhymes with “Peter”) has a very versatile tenor voice but he is also committed to portraying the deeper meaning of the music he performs. Old and young alike will be especially touched by his exceptional version of traditional Christmas songs.

His musical journey started when he sung his first church solo at five years of age. Fuelled by his mother’s passion for Classical music, Stephan went on to study music at university level and took master classes under world class professors. Originally, Stephan came from South Africa where he has been broadcast on national radio and toured, performing for audiences of up to 20,000 people.

Since migrating to Australia in 2004, Stephan has a growing reputation as an exceptional soloist who has performed in many concerts, church services and other special events. This tenor has participated in several charity events sponsored by Mission Australia and a number of seniors’ organisations. In August, he was chosen as the opening act for the main arena night program at The Royal Queensland Show. He has now recorded three full-length albums – “Amigos Para Siempre (Friends For Life)”, “He Was There All The Time” and “Everlasting Light”.

The community carols is a great opportunity for locals to get into the spirit of Christmas and to hear a world class performance. All welcome.
