- **Event Name**: Desmond Tutu Commemorative Artwork Unveiling
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 25 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Wed, 25 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 pm (+02:00)
- **Event Description**: The Stellenbosch International Chamber Music Festival presents the unveiling of its 20th Anniversary Desmond Tutu Commemorative Artwork by Gavin Rain.

Commissioned to mark the Festival’s 20-year milestone in 2025, the work has taken shape over the past months and now reaches completion. Composed of engraved discs bearing personal messages from hundreds of festival participants, faculty members and audience supporters, the artwork is both portrait and archive — a collective tribute to Desmond Tutu and to the community that has sustained SICMF over two decades.

Rather than a single image alone, the piece gathers voices. It reflects the Festival’s ethos: collaboration, conscience and shared artistic purpose.

The evening also includes a performance of The Selfish Giant by Peter Louis van Dijk, a work of narrative depth and quiet moral resonance.

This free concert forms part of the Stellenbosch International Piano Symposium and is presented with the support of the Endler Concert Series. Whilst walk-ins will be accommodated, patrons are urged to book attendance on Webtickets https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/event.aspx?itemid=1589783696
