Enjoy an evening of music on a beautiful
Steinway and Sons grand piano this Saturday with Christopher Duigan. Following
a visit last week by accredited Steinway piano technician Ian Burgess- Simpson
from Cape Town, the ‘Duigan’ Steinway Grand piano is now sounding better than
ever!
Playing a selection from current programmes
as well as some new and favourite music that shows off the best of this highly
expressive instrument, the piano will be put through its paces in the best of a
great selection of music. This includes highlights from the recent Esperanza programme featuring works by
Brazilian Ernesto Nazareth, Mexican Manual Ponce and Argentinian Carlos
Guastovino; from The Exotic World of
French Piano Music, music by Ravel, Debussy (The Girl with the Flaxen Hair), the beguiling Les Barricades Mistérieuses by François Couperin, and the Ballade
No 1 by Chopin. A highly appealing and varied programme that sets the tone for
a wonderful night out!
The concert takes place at 35 Montgomery Drive,
Athlone in Pietermaritzburg. Tickets R120 (R100 concert only) include
refreshments on arrival, soup and coffee, served from 18h30. The concert starts
later than normal – at 20h00 - to allow for plenty of time to enjoy the evening
round a ‘friendly’ table with a light meal served with crusty breads. Remember
to take your own wine if taking up this opportunity.
