Hailed recently as a 'South African Piano Icon' Christopher Duigan performs for two private soirees in Durban. In the home of Sue Clarence, Hilton Arts Festival director and local theatre producer, the evening will allow audiences to enjoy an outstanding musical performance in an intimate and convivial home environment. The venue is one of Durban's contemporary architectural landmarks in Manor Gardens, near UKZN.
 Well known for his innovative and exploratory programming, concert pianist Christopher Duigan plays a grand piano in a programme of selected classics focusing on popular music from around the world- Play, Piano Play! Featuring music that enjoys popular public appeal and is seldom heard in performance, this pianistic bonanza with a contemporary cross cultural slant, makes the piano sing, dance and jump! Included are Gershwin's transcription of My One and Only, JS Bach’s Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, Manuel de Falla's Ritual Fire Dance, Scott Joplin's Elite Syncopations,South American tangos by Brazilian Ernesto Nazareth and Argentina's Astor Piazzolla plus contemporary film music by Richard Guiness and Yann Tiersen. These rub shoulders with brilliant virtuoso concert pieces by Frederic Chopin and Moritz Moskowski.
His recital follows on recent performances at St Agnes Church in Kloof and a sell-out performance at the Howard College Theatre in Durban. He will be performing in Cape Town at the Baxter Theatre later in March.
Christopher Duigan plays a new 7ft KAWAI grand piano sponsored by KAWAI Piano Studio, KZN.
