Don’t miss out on three highly appealing and unusual selections this Friday, Sunday and Tuesday!
A SPRING SURPRISE
 POPULAR PIANO EVENING - Bringing together music for the onset of spring (if one takes 1 September as the Spring starting date!) Christopher Duigan plays a selection of popular music bursting with energy. For this performance expect to hear music from the world of tango, including the famous La Cumparsita, Scott Joplin’s Solace, plus film music by Richard Guinness and world acclaimed Ludivico Einaudi. This popular choice together with classics from Grieg- his haunting Nocturne and Wedding Day at Troldhaugen - along with the elemental Rustle of Spring and sultry Spanish dreams from Albeniz - make up a light-hearted and energetic evening.
Fri 3 September 19h30
Tickets R90 includes great wine and coffee.
SUNDAY CLASSICS
This special Sunday afternoon concert features a wonderfully evocative hour of music for two of the most captivating orchestral instruments, oboe and viola. In an engaging yet gently melodic concert enjoy music by Charles Martin Loeffler (1861-1935) - Two Rhapsodies, and August Klughardt (1847-1902) - Schilflieder. Klughardt’s Schilflieder or Reed Songs, show a marked influence of Liszt and Wagner. This ultra-Romantic music is based on a selection of poems by Lenau. The performers are outstanding soloists from the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra; Durban-born Magrit Deppe (oboe) and British-born Principal Viola, David Snaith with Christopher Duigan (piano). A must for lovers of beautiful music.
Sun 5 September 15h30
R90 includes wine, iced tea and coffee
THE HA! MAN
Francois le Roux, a.k.a. the HA!Man enchants and astonish audiences the world over with his cello, original electronic accompaniments, keyboard, voice and dances. His music reflects his Southern African roots and his spontaneous approach challenges conventional ideas in both the serious and commercial music environment. Touted as one of South Africa's top musical talents and a groundbreaking cellist/music creator, he operates independently, traveling about 80 000 km a year by car. He coined the term HA! to express the spirited way in which he conducts his performances. Visit www.hamanworld.com for more.
