Pietermaritzburg audiences should not miss
an opportunity to enjoy a beautiful evening of music featuring world-class
soloists, pianist Christopher Duigan and guitarist James Grace, at the
Cordwalles Chapel in Wembley, Pietermaritzburg. The concert, presented by Music
Revival, takes place on August 2, 2018.
"The chapel at Cordwalles Preparatory
School has recently been extended and
now offers a wonderful performance space with very rewarding acoustics. We are
looking forward to performing in this inviting stage and to bring our wonderful
music and musicians to a new audience in Athlone, Wembley and surrounds,” says
Duigan.
Duigan, one of South Africa’s leading
concert pianists, can be heard in piano solos from his recent programmes of
music by Gershwin and Debussy. Together with guitarist James Grace, the Duigan
& Grace Duo, an usual combination of piano and guitar, has won a popular
following at major festivals and on stages across South Africa.
Cape Town-based James Grace is a SAMA
nominated artist with a string of successful recordings under his belt. Their
programme together includes many of their own duo arrangements and
improvisations on classic melodies, jazz standards, Latin milongas and Spanish
classics. Their session will include Fields
of Gold, Tico Tico and favourite Spanish guitar solos. Duigan’s own
composition Indigo, a favourite at
any Duigan and Grace concert, will complete the programme.
The concert on August 2 runs from 18h30 to
19h45. Tickets R120 (R60 scholars). Bookings (essential for catering purposes)
