(Samantha Goldblatt)
Baroque 2000 continues its season with a concert at the Church of the Monastery Mariannhill on July 29. This was a concert that had to be postponed because a number of the musicians were ill.
Samantha Goldblatt will be the soloist in the Suite for recorder and strings by the great Georg Philipp Telemann. The same composer's La Lyra, a suite of dances, is also on the bill. The music of the finest composer of the Austrian Baroque, Johann Joseph Fux, features in the ensemble's repertoire for the first time with a performance of his Trio Sonata K340.
Some of Fux’s works for larger orchestra including oboes trumpets and strings will appear in a forthcoming programme.
The Baroque 2000 concert takes place in the Church of the Monastery Mariannhill at 15h00 on July 29. Tickets R90 at the door for this concert of rarely heard gems. There is plenty of free parking. More information from Michel on 082 303 5241 or email: sursouth@iafrica.com
