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.

This concert is dedicated to Noel Stockton – legendary Jazz pianist who has established a wide reputation as a leading jazz arranger, composer, performer and teacher.

 

Marc Duby was born in Cape Town where he obtained a BA degree (majoring in English) from the University of Cape Town in 1975, having begun his professional career as electric and acoustic bassist in that city in 1972. He returned from overseas to begin musical studies at the University of Cape Town in 1980, culminating in the award of the first masters’ degree in jazz performance (cum laude) in South Africa (University of Natal, 1987) under the supervision of Prof Darius Brubeck. Duby completed his PhD thesis at the University of Pretoria in 2007 on the topic of Soundpainting - the framework for live composition developed by the New York composer / saxophonist Walter Thompson. Awarded established researcher status in 2010 by the National Research Foundation, he has presented papers at conferences in Brazil, England, Greece, India, Italy, Mexico, and the United States.

 

A prize-winning composer of film music, Marc Duby is active as a performer, composer/arranger, and music educator, and currently serves as research professor in musicology in the Department of Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology at UNISA. 

 

Viljoen, associate professor and acting Artistic Head of the Odeion School of Music (UFS), is the foremost expert of Schenkerian Analysis in South Africa and is a celebrated South African pianist.  Upon the release of his second CD, Transcendental Schubert, critic Paul Boekkooi remarked the following about Viljoen’s playing: “Viljoen se spel weerspieël Schubert se ander-wêreldse gevoel en intieme spiritualiteit en versoen die komponis se Klassieke én Romantiese inslag op ideale wyse”.
