(Andrew
Warburton & Aristide du Plessis)
A free lunch-hour concert will take place at
Howard College on July 31, 2017, featuring Aristide du Plessis (cello) and
Andrew Warburton (piano).
This concert features two virtuoso works from the
Romantic era for cello and piano. Firstly, Schubert’s lyrical masterpiece the Arpeggione sonata, written for a now
obsolete stringed instrument of that name, and then the towering Sonata in F
major Op. 99 by Brahms. These works give ample opportunities for both
performers to shine.
Aristide du Plessis performs with the KZN
Philharmonic. He is one of South Africa’s leading cellists, having performed
regularly overseas in some of the world’s most prestigious concert halls, won
numerous awards both locally and abroad, and collaborated with leading
conductors and orchestras. Andrew Warburton is one of the country’s leading
pianists, and has been active as a performer on all the South African concert
stages since 1982, both as soloist, having a repertoire of 18 concertos, as
well as an accompanist and chamber musician. He is lecturer in piano at the
UKZN School of Music.
The free lunch hour concert takes place on July
31, 2017, at 12h20 at UKZN Howard College.
