Ster-Kinekor is excited to announce the exclusive screening of the concert film from GRAMMY®-winning Icelandic-Chinese artist Laufey for two shows only on 06 and 08 December, only at Ster-Kinekor Eastgate in Johannesburg and Ster-Kinekor V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. The concert film is the cinematic release of her debut concert film,, “Laufey’s A Night at the Symphony: Hollywood Bowl”.
“This musical adventure promises to captivate cinema audiences both here in South Africa and across the globe, with stunning visuals and Laufey’s mesmerising vocals as she performs alongside the legendary Los Angeles Philharmonic. As Ster-Kinekor, we are delighted to be screening this music special for our audiences in Joburg and Cape Town as we welcome the end of year wind-down and head into the festive holiday season,” says Lynne Wylie, Chief Marketing Officer of Ster-Kinekor Theatres.
The 25-year-old GRAMMY-winning Icelandic-Chinese artist Laufey writes songs inspired by jazz greats and classical masters while possessing a point of view that could only be conveyed by a 21st-century twenty-something. Her romantic and trailblazing approach has captured audiences worldwide, growing a global community of ‘Lauvers’ and selling out every tour date the “Gen Z It Girl” (NY Times) has put on sale.
Laufey’s A Night at the Symphony: Hollywood Bowl was filmed in Laufey’s adopted hometown of Los Angeles. Directed by Sam Wrench (Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour), Laufey takes the audience on a spellbinding sonic journey under the stars, performing alongside the legendary Los Angeles Philharmonic. Playing the iconic venue that Ella Fitzgerald and so many of Laufey’s heroes played before her, the film gives a behind-the-scenes look at the monumental show. As Variety sums it up: “Laufey feels like she was born to play the Hollywood Bowl”.
Laufey (pronounced l?y-v?y) said: “It’s always been a dream of mine to present my music with the LA Philharmonic. To be able to bring that concert to people way beyond LA and the Hollywood Bowl is so meaningful to me, especially as I come from so many different parts of the world, which have all played a part in inspiring my work and artistic journey.”
Director Sam Wrench stated: “Capturing Laufey’s debut concert at the Hollywood Bowl was a dream; cinematically sublime with a scale and intimacy that is so evident in Laufey’s music. I can’t wait for everyone to experience this on the big screen.”
Laufey’s distinctive fusion of jazz, pop, and classical influences resonates across generations of fans, as she explores timeless themes of love, longing, and self-discovery. Set against the enchanting backdrop of the iconic Hollywood Bowl, her artistry shines through as only concert film maestro and director, Sam Wrench, can orchestrate. Her authenticity has quickly garnered millions of fans across the world, captivated by her vocal range and emotional depth.
The two concert films will only be screened at Ster-Kinekor Eastgate in Johannesburg (06 December at 19:30 and 08 December at 15:15) and Ster-Kinekor V&A Waterfront in Cape Town (06 December at 19:30 and 08 December at 15:00).

But the thought leaders on talk radio and Fox do more than shape opinion. Backed by their own wing of the book-publishing industry and supported by think tanks that increasingly function as public-relations agencies, conservatives have built a whole alternative knowledge system, with its own facts, its own history, its own laws of economics. – David Frum
