DARKNESS & LIGHT



In a fascinating combination of music presented by the Pietermaritzburg-based Music Revival, Christopher Duigan complies a selection of classics that by turn focus on moods of darkness, or light.

 Included are the Mozart Sonata in D major K 310, one of his most sparkling piano works, contrasted by Liszt’s Funerailles, inspired by the death of a fellow composer, Debussy’s Feux d’artifice (Fireworks) and Moskowski’s Etincelles (Sparks) and selections from Scarlatti Sonatas and Schubert’s Impromptus . A fascinating voyage though a multi-layered and multi- faceted emotional and ‘visual’ landscape.

Performances take place at 35 Montgomery Drive, Pietermaritzburg, on April 26 at 19h30 (R100 includes refreshments on arrival and coffee) and on April 28 at 16h00 (R100 includes tea and coffee served from 15h30). There is secure parking.

A light meal, a popular addition to the Friday night event, is on offer from 19h45 - R120 including the concert. Patrons should take their own wine to enjoy with the meal.
