THE PEERLESS CONCERT PIANIST


(Above: Christopher Duigan)

Friends Of Music in association with Music Revival will present Christopher Duigan in a programme of Concert Classics on July 24, 2022.

Widely regarded as one of South Africa's leading concert pianists Christopher Duigan has performed extensively with all leading South African orchestras including the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic, Cape Philharmonic and Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestras in a repertoire of more than 25 concerti. In recital he has achieved a popular following through his innovative presentation and programming featuring a broad and eclectic taste in Music.

Duigan, and his Music Revival initiative, are synonymous with accessible live classical music concerts performed throughout South Africa, with home-town Pietermaritzburg as its fulcrum.

For the past 30 something years, Duigan performed on average 100 performances a year – solo, with associates and with musical ensembles. Since the onset of the hard lockdown in March 2020, Duigan has performed two live-streamed free concerts every week.

Christopher Duigan is a Steinway Artist. He will perform a programme of several of the most popular, mainstream classics: Beethoven's Sonata in C minor – Pathétique, Mozart’s Sonata in A minor and Liszt's Dante Sonata and Les jeux d’eaux à la Villa d’Este

The concert takes place at 15h00 on July 24 at the Durban Jewish Centre, 44 KE Masinga Road.

Tickets R140 (R120 FOM Members) available at the door.
