CELLO SONG: DUIGAN/DU PLESSIS


(Christopher Duigan & Aristide Du Plessis)

In April, Christopher Duigan is joined by Aristide Du Plessis (cello) for Music Revival Concerts Monthly KZN Tour, from Ballito to Howick.

In this programme they include Schumann’s Adagio and Allegro, the virtuoso Hungarian Fantasia by David Popper and Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata, a classical favourite of audiences world-wide. Other selections include a series of songs that serve to highlight the lyrical aspects of the instrument.

After a recent concert in Johannesburg with the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra, critic Paul Boekkooi exclaimed "Is Aristide du Plessis our pre-eminent ‘cellist?” He went on to say “He is a remarkable musician and a born cellist. It is obvious that for him virtuosity and technical display are never virtues on their own, but at all times they are applied with diligence and placed in the service of the composer and his music. This [Saint-SaĆ«ns] concerto has seldom sounded so wholesome and gripping as in the hands of this already illustrious instrumentalist, still in his late 20s.” 

Don't miss this opportunity to hear this outstanding  young South African  musician in a series of solos concerts in KZN, with Christopher Duigan at the piano. See below for booking details
