(Christopher
Duigan)
Music Revival starts the year with Christopher
Duigan at the piano performing a light selection of music.
Titled A
Pianist’s Holiday, this programme will also be presented, by special
request, in Cape Town at St George’s Cathedral next week (January 30). The
easy-going selection of favourites based on the selection included in Duigan’s
CD recording Picnic Piano and Picnic Piano Encore from many years back
has received much exposure on Classic FM and Fine Music Radio in Cape Town and
Johannesburg. This same selection is once again set to delight with popular
songs by George Gershwin, The Flight of
the Bumble Bee, Scott Joplin’s ragtime The
Entertainer and Pineapple Rag, Brazilian
tango Reblicio and Fon-Fon by Ernesto Nazareth and music
from the soundtracks to The Piano, Amelie
and On Golden Pond.
A Pianists Holiday will have two
performances this week in Pietermaritzburg on January 25 at 19h30 and January 27
at 16h00 at Duigan’s studio at 35 Montgomery Drive, Athlone. Performances are
approximately 70 mins and parking is secure. Tickets R100 include refreshments
on arrival. As is customary with the first concert of the New Year, a glass of Cap
Classique will be on offer. Coffee is also included in the Sunday afternoon
concert.
