Music Revival is bringing an exciting new concert series to
lovers of classical music living on the Dolphin Coast.
Concert pianist, Christopher Duigan, is expanding his
existing concerts in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, Kloof and Durban to Ballito,
with the launch of monthly concerts in the coastal town. Presented and directed by Duigan, a Steinway
Artist, the concerts will feature the pianist along with a host of local and
international guest artists.
Music Revival, which was established in October 1997, has
grown from a series of small intimate concerts to a regularly presented series
of more than 100 concerts annually staged across KZN, as well as in
Johannesburg and Pretoria, Franschhoek in the Cape Winelands, and Cape
Town. These concerts range from home
soirees to major festivals and symphony concerts.
In Ballito, Music Revival will offer classical music fans a
'light to medium' classical experience with the artists introducing the music they
are about to play, offering personal insight, as well as anecdotal and
historical background to the music.
The opening concert will take place at Grace Hall at Ashton
International College, Albertona Way, Ballito (opposite Ballito Hospital) tomorrow
(September 21) at 19h00.
Duigan will play a solo piano programme of his favourite
classical piano masterpieces, numbers which have formed a major part of his
repertoire over the past 20 years.
Principal works
include: George Frederic Handel's Chaconne and Ludwig van Beethoven’s Waldstein Sonata op 53 - one of
Beethoven's most iconic and revered compositions. The second part of the programme
features Claude Debussy’s Reflets dans
l'eau (Reflections in the water) and music by Franz Liszt. It ends with the
Heroic Polonaise in A-flat Op 53 by
Frederic Chopin. The last work said to be one of the composer’s boldest
compositions giving voice to a nation's cry for freedom following the Russian
invasion of Poland of 1831.
