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.

Description: Munich Brass Tags: Munich Brass“From the first note to the last, this was a fun, inspiring, engaging and quite simply brilliant concert.” 

(Gareth Harvey, What’s on in Cape Town)

 

After the five gentlemen of Harmonic Brass Munich’s visits to Bloemfontein in 2012 and 2014, concertgoers could not stop talking about the extraordinary and highly entertaining concerts they have been treated with.  The OSM could not let the chance go by to invite them to Bloemfontein with their next SA tour. 

 

Since 1991, the Harmonic Brass Munich has been renowned for its big, elegant brass sound.  Carnegie Hall (New York), Arts Center (Seoul), Leipzig Gewandhaus: the five gentlemen are welcomed and feel at home everywhere in the world. Harmonic Brass travels around the globe playing around 120 concerts a year with different programmes.  An ensemble that spreads good humor: meticulous filing at their performances combined with baroque joie de vivre and serious musical works alternating with giggling boyishness. Five individuals, who couldn't be more unique, melt into a remarkable unity on stage.  Harmonic Brass is supported by an incredibly large number of fans.  Representing the Goethe Institute, Harmonic Brass has been a cultural ambassador all over the world since 2000 and the musicians from Munich also present numerous international workshops.  Anyone who has been to a Harmonic Brass concert knows what the Süddeutsche Zeitung means when writing about an ensemble that "… with its glamorous-virtuous way of performing is one of the best of its kind worldwide."

 

The members of the group have changed since their last visit.  Gergely Lukács has left the group and a lady, Elisabeth Fessler, has succeeded him.

 

Hans Zellner (trumpet) studied with Prof Lachenmaier, Rolf Quinque and Wolfgang Guggenberger at the Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich as well as the Hochschule für Musik und Theater (also in Munich).
