(Agnese
Eglina)
Friends of Music is happy to welcome back
the ebullient Latvian pianist, Agnese Eglina, who will perform an exciting solo
recital including baroque highlights, contemporary repertoire and Argentine
tangos.
On her second visit to Friends of Music in
Durban, the dynamic and versatile Eglina will be performing an eclectic
compilation of music which she calls Art-i-Shock. She is equally at home with
the old masters and contemporary composers alike and is known for solo
programmes with a difference. She will perform works ranging from JS Bach’s
Italian Concerto through Gershwin’s Preludes, contemporary works from by Arvo
Pärt, and Philip Glass, contributions from Latvian composers Jānis Mendiņš and
Kristaps Peterson’s and finish with two tangos from Astor Piazzolla.
This invigorating recital is sure to
provide music lovers with a captivating, exciting and memorable musical
experience.
The Prelude Performer for the evening will
be Rebecca Grace Nortje (Recorder). The 13 year-old learner at St Mary's DSG is
a member of the school orchestra (on violin) and recorder group. Under the
tutelage of Mrs Sandra Breschi, Nortjie has achieved distinctions for all her
exams and has received numerous awards at competitions. She will perform
Concertino in D by John Baston, Grave and Allegro by Domenico Scarlatti and Fish and Chips by Alan Bullard.
The recital will take place at 19h30 on Tuesday
April 30 at the Durban Jewish Centre, 44 KE Masinga (Old Fort) Road. Tickets R120
