Krittikom Koppie Amphitheatre

Free

Journey to Jazz opens at the breathtaking Kritikom Koppie Quarry, a natural amphitheatre carved into the Karoo landscape. This ceremony sets the tone for the festival, grounding us in place, history and the land that holds our stories. As the sun rises behind the koppie, the quarry comes alive with sound, movement and gathering energy. Musicians, community voices and invited artists create a powerful opening moment that honours the spirit of Prince Albert: resilient, creative and deeply connected. This is an invocation, a call to listen, to witness, and to step into four days of music, culture and Karoo magic.
