New Piano Play by Rocco de Villiers
2018 is Rocco’s year of the emerald!
In 2018 popular pianist Rocco de Villiers celebrates 20 years of blood, sweat, tears and survival as a piano player in South Africa. The 20thanniversary gemstone is the emerald. As part of his celebration Rocco will be wearing green for the entire year.
In 1998 he released his first solo instrumental album, Screen Test. 14 Studio albums later, this platinum recording artist has built up a large fan base. As part of his greenest year Rocco will release a brand-new album with all original tracks. The album is fittingly titled Wees Net Jouself/Just Be Yourself. A brand-new show with the same title will play at Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre from 3 -14 October. This show also marks Rocco’s tenth show and year with Pieter Toerien Productions.
Says Rocco, “After 20 years of survival and turning 50, I can and want to Just Be Myself.” Just be your self’s green colour speaks of self-acceptance, a green world, growth, a new era, love lost, love found, laughing, crying – and ultimately living and loving life, one’s job and one’s calling.
Just Be Yourself is a show not to be missed.
