Media Release

A dancing cat, a howling dog, and a vampire bunny. The perfect pet combination for any family. It is a dark and stormy night and Chester (the family cat) and Harold (the family dog) sit waiting for their owners to return home from the movies. Chester and Harold are more than just pets, they are good friends too. When the Monroes finally get home, they come bearing a surprise: they have found a bunny in the movie theatre. However, this is no ordinary rabbit … this is the extraordinary Bunnicula. When the family’s produce starts losing its juice, Chester thinks he knows what is causing the fantastic phenomenon. Bunnicula is a vampire! Or maybe Chester’s imagination is getting the better of him. Singing and dancing their way through this hilarious mystery, the furry friends find room in their hearts, and in their home, for one very unique bunny.

This unique musical Children’s theatre production is directed by DeBeer Cloete and features second-year Drama students in the South African premiere of Deborah and James Howe’s Bunnicula. The production runs from the 11th to the 14th op April at the Scaena Rehearsal Room on the UFS Campus and tickets are available through Computicket. The production is recommended for children 7 years and up and everyone young at heart.

Retelling Telemann's Tale

Retelling Telemann’s Tale...

With the Odeion Baroque Ensemble

12 November 2017

Odeion

16:00

The Odeion Baroque Ensemble presents this concert titled Retelling Telemann’s Tale... consisting of some of the most appealing works by Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767). This concert falls with the 250th anniversary of his death.

During the concert the Namibian/South African narrator, Dorian Haarhoff, will elucidate on Telemann’s life and works. Tenor Lance Phillip will perform two sacred solo cantatas with organ (one with oboe and one with recorder). A Trio Sonata with an extraordinary setting for harpsichord, oboe and organ will be included. This will be followed by a quartet for bassoon, oboe, violin and continuo - an exceptional work with beautiful bassoon solos.

The rest of the programme will consist of concertos. The Double Concerto for recorder and bassoon is probably one of the Telemann’s most popular works due to the skilful manner in which Telemann interweaved these two instruments’ parts. The Double Concerto for oboe and violin is seldom performed, because it is unfinished. This will be followed by the Violin Concerto in G minor and the programme will be appropriately concluded with a composition named Conclusion. Telemann named it as such because it is the last work in his series Tafelmusik. Conclusion is a short concerto for two recorders.

Members of the Odeion Baroque Ensemble include Maretha Krige (harpsichord), Petrus Krige (recorder), Kobus Malan (oboe & recorder), Brahm Henkins (bassoon), Elspeth Neary (violin), Tilla Henkins (cello), Lance Phillip (tenor & organ) and Francois Henkins (violin).
