Friends of Music presents Variations – a Programme of Baroque Music at the Durban Jewish Centre on November 12 at 15h00.

 A popular genre during the Baroque period was so-called ‘sets of variations’ or ‘divisions’: Composers often composed variations and embellishments on folk melodies or hymns.

Erik Dippenaar (harpsichord) and Ralitza Macheva (baroque violin) present a programme of virtuoso sets of variations from the Baroque, including music by Corelli and Buxtehude.

The programme also includes a collection of newly-composed sets of variations for solo violin, in a Baroque style, by Montreal based composer and early music specialist Matthias Maute (born 1963), as well as an improvised set of variations on the harpsichord by Dippenaar.

Entrance: R140 (R120 FOM Members) Tickets available – cash only – at the door.
