Justen Hosken Memorial Concert<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In loving memory of Justen Hosken (8 May 1994-10 March 2022). For this concert, the Stellenbosch Guitar Quartet, several classmates, alumni and lecturers from Stellenbosch University will play tribute to Justen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following a horrific car crash on 2 March 2022, Cape Town singer-songwriter and guitarist, Justen Hosken, passed away on 10 March. Hosken, known for his incredible musical talent as the lead singer of Rabbit Black, was a soft-spoken and sensitive person with a huge musical talent. He was a final year BMus student at Stellenbosch University and was proficient on classical, acoustic and electric guitars, performing in all manner of styles and genres. After the accident, Justen had to undergo major surgery, leaving huge medical bills due to hospitalisation and surgical costs. All proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to the Justen Hosken Memorial Fund and additional donations are welcome.<\/div>\n
