(Antoinette
Lohmann & Jörn Boysen)
Dome Arts Retreat and Suite 415 presents Kunstgeiger und Bierfiedler.
Enjoy an a carefully curated evening
programme of magnificent music which juxtaposes folk and art music from the
early Baroque period, in the Durban Evangelical Lutheran Church in Renshaw Road
on October 22, 2019.
The programme will be performed by
Antoinette Lohmann (baroque violin, clog violin) and Jörn Boysen (harpsichord,
baroque guitar, zither, jewish harp) who both work out of the Utrecht
Conservatory. The concert title Kunstgeiger
und Bierfiedler references the two opposites of the Baroque music to be
performed: from art music to Bierfiedler which refers to violinists playing in
bars.
The programme juxtaposes two spheres of
17th century music practice - "serious" music performed in courts and
church, as opposed to the “folk” music of the people. The programme features
work by an array of esteemed 17th Century Baroque composers.
The concert is hosted by Suite 415 in
association with The Dome Arts Retreat – based on a farm in the heart of the
Vredefort Dome World Heritage site, about 130 km south west of Johannesburg. It
offers a programme of master classes, concert projects, and courses centred
around music with facilities for instruction, tuition and associated group
activities.
Kunstgeiger
und Bierfiedler will be performed at 19h00 on October
22 at the Durban Evangelical Lutheran Church in Renshaw Road, off Franks Road
in Congella. Tickets R100 available at the door.
