Noxolo Hlatshwayo, Rocco De Lizelle le Roux
and Robert Mitchley in AMAZING GRACE 2

Following the success of AMAZING GRACE, popular pianist Rocco de Villiers is back with a sequel, AMAZING GRACE 2. This show is a follow-up, not only of his previous show but one which is also inspired by a brand new album, BEAUTIFUL HYMNS 2.

The first BEAUTIFUL HYMNS album reached gold status and left audiences wanting more sacred music - Rocco-style.

AMAZING GRACE 2 includes classic melodies and American spirituals like "The Little Drummer Boy", "Hallelujah", "Amen", "When the Saints Go Marching In", "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", "Down by the Riverside", "Kumbaya", "All Things Bright and Beautiful", "Hymne L'amour", "You'll Never Walk Alone", "Pie Jesu" and the evergreen "Amazing Grace". There will also be some Afrikaans songs, including "Gebed" and "Somerkerfees".

De Villiers, on piano, will be joined by violinist Lizelle le Roux on violin, guitarist Robert Mitchley on guitars and gospel singer Noxolo Hlatshwayo. Described as a show with soul and spirit, hope and happiness, and love and life, AMAZING GRACE 2 runs at Pieter Toerien's Montecasino Theatre from 3 - 13 August. Tickets, ranging in price from R100 - R180 are available through Computicket.
