Friends of Music is partnering with Christopher Duigan’s Music Revival to present a piano recital by Steinway Artist Christopher Duigan.

The popular concert pianist is back in Durban to entertain with his usual elegant and charismatic performance.

The programme includes:

JS Bach – Preludes and Fugues from “The Well Tempered Clavier”

Beethoven – Sonata Op 31 No 2 “Tempest”

Brahams – Intermezzo Op 118

Chopin – Scherzo No 3

 

The concert will take place on July 21 at 14h30 at the Durban Jewish Centre – 44 KE Masinga (Old Fort) Road.

Widely regarded as one of South Africa's leading concert pianists, 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 over 30 years, he has performed on average 100 performances a year – solo, with associates and with musical ensembles.
