Friends of Music and Music Revival will present one of South Africa’s foremost concert pianists, Christopher Duigan, performing Classical Icons on August 13, 2023, at 15h00 at the Durban Jewish Centre.

Duigan will perform a selection of music by Liszt including the dazzling Hungarian Rhapsody No 12 and Mephisto Waltz, Frederic Chopin - Scherzo No. 2, and the mighty Sonata Appassionata Op. 57 by Ludwig van Beethoven.

Widely regarded as one of South Africa's leading concert pianists, Christopher Duigan has been recognized as a 'South African piano icon' and 'national musical treasure' (Classic Feel June 2009). He has performed extensively with all leading South African orchestras in a repertoire of more than 25 works for piano and orchestra and over 100 performances. In recital, he has developed a popular following through his innovative presentation and programming of a broad and eclectic taste in music.

He also presents a popular on-line concert series performed from his home in Pietermaritzburg.

In 2010 he became one of only six pianists in South African history to be invited to be a 'Steinway Artist', joining an exclusive company of renowned international pianists.

The concert takes place on August 13, 2023, at 15h00 at the Durban Jewish Centre. Tickets R140 (R120 FOM members) available at the door.
