"I revelled at listening to the CD's during the weekend and marvel at Ms. Bouwer's gift/ability to produce such world-class music - absolutely magnificent! Despite the many negative factors that surround us daily, listening to such beautiful music is the very thing that makes me proud to be a South African and makes my heart sing!
