(Anton
Cawthorn-Blazeby and HA!Man)
HA!Man and Anton Cawthorn-Blazeby will
offer a special evening of spontaneous, quirky and innovative music at St
Clements tomorrow (March 10).
“It has been more than two years since we
were last able to perform together, and we're both really looking forward to
it!,” says Cawthorn-Blazeby.
HA!Man (cello & keyboard) and Cawthorn-Blazeby
(violin) have given audiences some thrilling excitements in the past and they
are building on it! The two boundary-breaking acoustic performers have limited
opportunity to perform in a dedicated concert together. Their respective busy
schedules have created the occasion for them to play again!
Francois the HA! Man has been travelling
and performing worldwide for a number of years, pushing musical boundaries in
an inspirational and spell binding way with a wide variety of styles and
expression, from the United States to Eastern Europe to Asia and Africa,
featuring performances with cello, keyboard, voice and dance. His music
reflects his Southern African roots, and he is also noted as the composer of
'Africa - Her time has come'.
Cawthorn-Blazeby’s versatility, musical
integrity and skill allow him to play across boundaries and genres with a wide
variety of other musicians. His particular affinity is with quirky music with a
Celtic feel, mostly expressed with Celtis, a project with musicians Ron Uken
and Keri Povall. He was a founding member of seminal instrumental band,
Landscape Prayers, which released four critically acclaimed albums and toured
extensively during the band's lifetime.
The performance will take place tomorrow at
18h30 for 19h00 at St Clements, 191 Musgrave Road. Food and bar available. Space
is limited, so booking essential on 031 202 2511. Couvert charge is R100.
