The British play Noises Off is bound to have you in stitches. Written by Michael Frayn, Noises Off can be considered a farce within a comedy and gives an inside look at all the antics of the theatre: the ups, downs, backstabbing, and relationships that form while a play is being produced and performed.

Noises Off follow a group of actors preparing for a cringe-worthy production called “Nothing-On.” What follows is on-stage misdirection, misunderstandings, doors that will not work, and props that aren’t there. Theatregoers are promised a glimpse of what happens backstage as the stage will literally turn. The actor’s best and worst sides are displayed, revealing their mysteries of trying to keep track of their newspapers, plants, lovers, missing cast members and a few plates of Sardines.

Noises Off will be featuring third-year students of the Department of Drama and Theatre Arts of the University of the Free State. Directed by Thys Heydenrych. It will be performed from 26 to 29 September 2018 at the Wynand Mouton Theatre, UFS campus, at 19:30. Tickets are available at Computicket.

This production is appreciated by an audience of age 15 and over because of a more … grown-up storyline.

The production is made possible with the support from Creative Kilowatt and Iewers Nice.

UFS Department of Music presents: Haydn Trio Eisenstadt

Haydn Trio Eisenstadt

The Haydn Trio Eisenstadt, founded in 1992, is one of Austria’s leading chamber music ensembles. A full concert schedule together with a large number of CD recordings is proof of the Trio’s outstanding reputation.  The Trio is focussing to a large extent on the "Haydn Year 2009", the bicentenary of Haydn’s death. The three musicians have been preparing themselves for this date ever since the ensemble was founded in 1992, and during 2009 they will travel the whole world as musical ambassadors of Joseph Haydn’s home region.

The musicians received instruction in the chamber music class of the Vienna Academy of Music under Georg Ebert, and took part in master classes given by the Trio di Trieste. In 1994, the renowned Accademia Chigiana in Siena, bestowed on the Haydn Trio Eisenstadt the Honorary Diploma for the best piano trio and an award for the best foreign contribution of the entire festival. This distinction led to their being admitted to the Scuola Internazionale di Musica da Camera del Trio di Trieste, which the ensemble attended for two years.

In addition to regular concerts all over Austria, the Haydn Trio Eisenstadt is often on tour abroad.  Concerts have taken them to Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, England, Scotland, Ireland, Switzerland, Denmark, Hungary, Turkey, Russia, Israel, Japan and the USA.

Since 2002 the Haydn Trio Eisenstadt cooperates with the highly esteemed Scottish singers Lorna Anderson (soprano) and Jamie MacDougall (tenor) in the first ever presentation of all 429 folksong arrangements composed by Haydn, both in live concerts and on CDs.

In May 2008, the ensemble completed its large-scale project of recording Joseph Haydn’s complete piano chamber music oeuvre - all 39 piano trios, all 429 Scottish Songs and all Divertimenti and Concertini (28 CDs).  Another large-scale project, the worldwide composition project entitled D2H - Dedicated to Haydn, has been devised by the Trio’s pianist, Harald Kosik, for 2009.  Taking as its motto Joseph Haydn’s famous saying “The whole world understands my language”, 6 Austrian composers, 6 composers from other European countries and 6 composers from all other continents have been invited to compose a piano trio “dedicated to Haydn” for the bicentenary.  During this concert, the trio by Bongani Ndodana-Breen will be performed.

Joseph Haydn - Piano Trio in E flat major Hob. XV/29
Bongani Ndodana-Breen - Piano Trio – Dedication to Haydn
