Albie Van Schalkwyk has performed as soloist with SA orchestras, performed solo recitals, given masterclasses for singers and accompanists, worked as a music producer for the SABC, and arranged music for various combinations. His partnership with Austrian cellist Heidi Litschauer produced two major tours through South Africa as well as annual visits to Austria where he played chamber music with visiting international artists and worked as repetiteur at the summer school of the International Neuberg Kulturtage from 1988-2011.
His interest in vocal music and the art song in particular has led to many fulfilling concert partnerships with singers, culminating in the formation in 1994 of The Songmakers' Guild.
