A long time ago, in Arcadia, a land covered with golden sand, lived a Sultan and his beautiful daughter, Princess Shumaila. On the Princess’s eighteen birthday, her father arranged for her to meet three possible suitors. The Princess was unsure of these plans but with the help of her camel friend, Jamaila and the all-knowing Genie Alim, they will help her to devise a plan to make her decision easier.

Everything doesn’t go according to plan, though, because of the jealous sorceress Mara who will do everything in her power to become queen of Arcadia. Come and join the princess and her friends to see what plan they will devise to help Princess Shumaila and save the kingdom from the evil sorceress.

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).
