A free lunch hour concert will take place on July 31 at 12h20 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 SA 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 concert takes place at 12h20 on July 31 at UKZN Howard College
Theatre. Entrance is free.
