A soprano's inspiring journey through song
July 24, 2025
|Cape Times
ACCOMPLISHED lyric soprano Ernestine Nur Stuurman will perform Journey Through Song at the Artscape Theatre Centre on Friday and Saturday.
Stuurman, from Westridge in Mitchell's Plain, grew up in Belhar and was a Western Province athlete before suffering an injury. She later overcame substance abuse, and pursued a music career. She is now sharing her story as part of the Artscape Women's Humanity Festival, which launched on July 11 and runs until August 31.
She said she was excited to share her life story, including her upbringing in a staunch Christian home and her conversion to Islam two years ago.
Stuurman said she hoped her performance would inspire and uplift others. “It is about me, my life as a woman, which is part of my journey, which is not complete yet.”
