ENCORE! BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! Classics for All Greyton Genadendal
A fter 21 wildly successful years, Coenie Visser and the volunteers that had staged this festival that has become a cornerstone of South Africa's classic music scene, felt it was time to move on. When it appeared that no experienced, credible producer/s were prepared to take over the monumental task of auditioning, compiling, and staging such a complex festival with 10 events over three days – with the unending tasks of curating applications, contracting, transporting, housing, and feeding the artists, not to mention organising sound equipment, stages, programmes, as well as selling enough tickets to cover the costs – the founding organisers reluc- tantly said: "It's been a blast! Thanks Greyton and Genadendal classic music lovers and sponsors for your support over these many happy years, but it's time to exit stage left!" The outcry and immediate sense of loss in the community was such that people
petitioned Coenie and Leoné Rouillard: "Come on! Just one more!" So, their response was: Well, what are you guys prepared to do to make it happen? Winning team put together Leoné has structured 15 defined portfoli - os, with a specific mission and charge of responsibility, and the long list of actions and tasks that need to be done to make the Festival a success. After headhunting a team with total commitment to take on each portfolio, Leoné announced: "For the sustainability of the Classics for All Festival, I am happy to report that our team for 2026 is complete. Thanks to all of you who have taken up a portfolio, ensuring that our wonderful festival will continue. See you 8-10 May 2026! "
