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.

Sundowner Concert: Antoinette Lohmann (Baroque violin)
Monday, 21 September 2009
Odeion
18:00
















The UFS Department of Music cordially invites you to the last free Sundowner Concert of 2009 with Antoinette Lohmann, Matildie Thom Wium (soprano), John Reid Coulter (harpsichord) and Jan Beukes (chamber organ).

Antoinette began her violin studies in 1987 at the Swelinck Conservatory with Jean Louis Stuurop and viola with Esther van Stralen. Her repertoire stretches from early seventeeth to late nineteenth century music. She has special interest in performance on unusual instruments such as the viola d’amore, the tenor violin and the piccolo violin and has extensively explored their repertoire. At the moment Antoinette is immersed in the study of the lira da braccio and is teaching Baroque violin and viola at the Utrecht Conservatory of Music. She is currently in South Africa for the Aardklop Baroque course. Her visit to the Department of Music is sponsored by the Dutch embassy.

Antoinette will also give a lecture on the Baroque violin on the same day between 13:00 and 14:00 in the Choir Room of the Odeion. Admission is free.
