listen: when the herd came down... (0:56)


27 March 2026

Dear all

I have just returned from South Africa and as always was heavily inspired by the nature over there (the picture above is from the Drakensberg mountains, and the music inspired by a herd of elephants). But all of that plus my sister from the States visiting us in Bruges last week (I turned 60!) took me off my communication schedule, leaving just a month before my next Berlin visit!

I do not have any confirmed events as yet (I know, very bad in European terms - not like in South Africa, where I recently had at least two beautiful events that were arranged with in two to three days). But still, some possibilities are on the table and I throw it out to you for any more ideas, suggestions or initiatives.

In a way, a gathering of friends for a musical happening is better not planned too far in advance. It raises the element of chance and surprise, and the makes us all the younger for it.

So the available dates are the weekend of 24 to 26 April. On Monday 27 April, it is Freedom Day in South Africa, commemorating the dawn of the post-Apartheid democratic dispensation - a dispensation that still holds and is currently a beacon of human rights and progress in a bleak world situation. I keep trying for some schools, but also here, any school contact you might have, I could present a special South Africa themed performance or workshop on this day.

The Suzuki violin workshop is still scheduled for that evening.

See all below for more details and feel free to get in touch.

Work with me to make things happen!

With best regards
Francois (HA!Man)


Events we can still make HA!ppen!

House Concerts and/or Public Performances - Friday 24, Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 April

A HA!Man house concert is crazily simple to get together. I can even handle the bookings for you. Space and 10, to.. as-much-as-can-fit people - that's all that is required.

And we can talk about how to localize the experience: bring in things for me to improvise with, I can select specific items beforehand to fit a theme for the evening. We can make it an all-consuming experience, with visuals and light effects included. MAGIC!

Talk to me, we make it happen. Public venues also an option, of course.

quote

What a stunning evening! I feel so privileged to have been a part of it.
Your delicate sensing, intensity, transformative performance, could not
help but touch each of us at a deep level. An uplifting, joyful,
connecting experience I can't wait to repeat.

(Jennifer Tanna, Cape Town)
