The Bald Diva

A typical English family: a typical English husband; a typical English wife, and a typical English home – except for the grandfather clock that strikes any number of times whenever it feels like it! How odd! And why are all the family friends named Bobby Watson?

Not much makes sense in Eugene Ionesco’s acclaimed play, The Bald Diva, but that’s half the fun. A French maid, a fireman and two very confused dinner guests all turn a “typical” English evening into an experience that no-one is likely to forget soon.

The Bald Diva is an hour-long romp through the absurdity of language, English tradition and strained marital relationships. Directed by Dion van Niekerk, and starring a bunch of highly talented students, this classic masterpiece is not to be missed!

The Bald Diva will be playing at the University of the Free State’s Scaena theatre from the 24th to the 26th May at 19:30pm. Tickets are available at Computicket.

NETTIE IMMELMAN MEMORIAL CONCERT

100th Anniversary Concert with Grethe Nöthling (piano), Nicol Viljoen (piano) & Jan Beukes (organ)

19 October 2017

Odeion

19:30

Legendary piano teacher, Nettie Immelman, passed away in 2011. The OSM presented the first memorial concert in her honour in 2012. This year is the 100th anniversary of her birth on 10 January 1917.

The programme of the concert will focus on some of Nettie Immelman’s favourite composers and works which held special artistic and pedagogical value to her. Since the first memorial concert all programmes were devoted to piano recitals. With this programme however, a musical reflection of her personal spiritual life which influenced her thinking and actions, will be included.

Jan Beukes will perform five chorale preludes from JS Bach’s well-known Orgelbüchlein to illustrate certain aspects of Immelman’s spiritual life. The rest of the programme will consist of piano works by Mozart, Ravel and Schubert performed by Grethe Nöthling and Nicol Viljoen.

PROGRAMME

Mozart: Piano Sonata in D major, K.576
Ravel: Mirroirs (Une barque sur l'océan - "A Boat on the Ocean" & Alborada del gracioso - "The Jester's Aubade")
Bach: Five Chorale Preludes from Orgelbüchlein
Interval
Schubert: Sonata in B-flat major, D.960
