MUSIC REVIVAL ACTIVITIES


(Above: Christopher Duigan)

Steinway Pianist Christopher Duigan thanks all who continue to support his live-stream programme. On Wednesday August 10, he presented a selection of his own original compositions 'live' online at 19h00. His Concert Classics had an epic programme on August 6! You will find both at his YouTube channel.


CONCERTS AT CASA MEXICANA

“We are working hard to further enhance the experience at the venue with the garden under renovation leading to an Open Gardens Weekend in November,” explains Duigan. “Plus there is currently much interest with the massive array of orchids currently blooming.” (See his website for more.) This month he offers an extra Sunday afternoon performance of popular highlights, the first afternoon concert in many years! He will also be presenting guest caterers and other dinner evenings at the venue, so please watch out for extra events!


FOUR FREE LIVE-STREAMS MONTHLY & LIVE CONCERTS

Duigan adds: “I will be continuing with only four live-streams and growing the limited number of live concerts at the end of the month. We are trying to resume the concerts at Ballito and Kloof as soon as possible! Our 'end-of-the-month' concert at the Amber on Wednesday August 24 offers residents a unique opportunity to request the programme selection!

“Please keep track of my website www.musicrevival.co.za for additional new concerts and changes to our online presence.”
