The fourth Series concert of Baroque 2000 will present a

The concert features The Gut String Quartet which comprises its
leader, Antoinette Lohmann (violin), with Elmarie van der Vyver (viola); Ralitza
Macheva (violin), and Cecilia Di Cecco (cello).
This ensemble was founded this year (2014): it is the first
quartet of its kind in South Africa, being dedicated to 'period' performances
of great music from the Baroque and later eras.
The programme includes Joseph Martin Kraus (Miltenberg am
Main, 1756 - Stockholm 1792); Quator 1 in A major (before 1780); Luigi
Boccherini (Lucca, 1743 - Madrid 1805); Quartetto 1 in e minor (1780); Joseph
Haydn (Rohrau 1732 - Wenen 1809), and Quator 4 in D major (1771).
The concert takes place at 15h00 today (August 17) at the Church
of the Mariannhill Monastery. Tickets R120 at the door. Ample and safe parking
available.
