Description

The Rector and Vice-Chancellor of the University of the Free State (UFS), Prof Francis Petersen, has the pleasure of inviting you to the 2022 Rector’s Concert. In celebration of our resilience, humanity, a return to traditions, new norms, and creativity, the concert performances by our talented students, staff, and alumni promise to keep you spellbound.

 

The line-up includes guest artist, Dr Wilhelm Lichtenberg, an alumnus of the UFS.
