Since his first visit in October 2012,
Salleras has been collaborating on a project of concerts and has recorded two
albums with Duigan – Indigo and Midnight Blue – both of which are
available on iTunes.
The Barcelona-based musician has attracted
international attention through his fluency in a variety of musical styles. His
innovative compositions, which incorporate traditional flamenco idioms with
contemporary and avant-garde performing techniques, are performed by
saxophonists worldwide.
Duigan, meanwhile, is widely regarded as
one of South Africa's leading concert pianists. He has performed extensively
with the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic, Cape Philharmonic and Johannesburg
Philharmonic Orchestras and has a popular following through his innovative Music
Revival concerts.
For this series, the two musicians will
perform works from the traditional saxophone repertoire by Jules Demersseman,
JS Bach, Darius Milahaud’s Scaramouche
and music from Spanish composer/saxophonist by Pedro Itturalde.
Itturalde's Suite Hellenique traditionally offers pianist and saxophonist
plenty of opportunity to explore a wide range of dynamic interplay through a
variety of musical styles.
Also on the programme will be Salleras and
Duigan’s own creative arrangements of music by Astor Piazzolla, Salleras’ own
solo work, Caprices, and Duigan's
compositions from Indigo and Midnight Blue.
Copies of Indigo and Midnight Blue
will be available to purchase at all concerts.
