Steenberg: A Jazz Concert (+ Picnic) Under the Stars

A summer evening, an almost-full moon and jazz music played live under a starry sky is a recipe for pure magic. And there’s hardly a more picturesque setting than the lawns at Steenberg in the Constantia Valley. The concert is set in the historic werf area among the heritage buildings of Tryn restaurant and the Steenberg Hotel, majestic oak trees backed by mountain vistas, as sunset turns to moonlight. Arrive early for a picnic on the lawns or book a delicious three-course dinner at tables set under the oak trees on the Tryn terrace.

Local jazz legend Shaun Johannes and his trio (pianist Andrew Ford and drummer/vocalist Carl ‘China’ Van Rensburg) will be filling the night with soul-tingling jazz melodies and music that will have your toes twitching to get up and dance.

And Shaun is a renowned composer and bassist who has travelled the world and jammed with global jazz legends.
