Odeion School of Music launches costume library which students can access for performances

Loading player...
Odeion School of Music students, at the University of the Free State, frequently participate in performances, competitions, and events. Unfortunately, not everyone is in a privileged position to acquire the necessary performance attire. To support them, the OSM has established a Costume Library – a collection of formal and performance-appropriate clothing items that students can borrow when needed. Dr Frelét De Villiers, Academic Head/Senior Lecturer at the OSM joins Yolanda Maartens in the OFM Art Beat to ask the public for donations of previously loved evening wear for ladies and gents.
