CELEBRATING CHOPIN II

The second installation of Frederic Chopin's piano music played by Christopher Duigan is launched with Celebrating Chopin Vol.2.

Detailing the careful balance between poetry and classical design, rustic impulse and sophisticated elegance, virtuosity and restraint, Chopin's music, an enigmatic and wistful combination of contrasting elements, always speaks directly. Chopin holds a unique position amongst classical composers in his ability to appeal to a popular audience and music connoisseurs simultaneously. Included in this selection is the ‘Military’ Polonaise in A major, Etudes including the Black Key, Mazurka in F op 7, Funeral March, Nocturne in C-sharp minor and the Barcarolle.

Celebrating Chopin 1 & 2 will be presented at the Franschhoek Literary Festival in May and the National Arts Festival, Grahamstown in June.

There will be a performances at 35 Montgomery Drive in Pietermaritzburg on May 7 at 19h30 and May 9 at 15h30, with an extra performance for Mother’s Day on May 9 at 11h00.
Tickets R80 includes wine and coffee (R90 Mother’s Day Performance includes scones and coffee from 10h30).
