Music-lovers are invited to an intimate afternoon concert in
the company of the Durban City Orchestra (DCO) as they perform a magnificent
programme of beautiful concerti at St Thomas on July 21 at 14h30; the Rhumbelow
Theatre at Northlands Bowling Club on Sunday July 28 at 15h00 and St Agnes
Chapel on Sunday August 4 at 15h30.
The orchestra, one of the longest running orchestras in the country, has a complement of approximately 30 active members who get together weekly. The orchestra includes two accomplished professional musicians in Charl van der Merwe as Resident Conductor and Jitske Brien as Concert Master.
The programme comprises a carefully chosen eclectic programme. One movement will be played from four different concertos: the second movement of Bruch’s Violin Concerto in G Minor’; the first movement of Haydn Trumpet Concerto; the second movement of Mozart’s Bassoon Concerto; and the third movement of Weber’s Clarinet Concerto.
The DCO is supported by Mzansi National Philharmonic Orchestra.
