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.

OSM Opening Concert 2016

OSM Opening Concert 2016 with Stefan Temmingh (recorder), Erik Dippenaar (harpsichord) and the OSM Camerata with conductor Xavier Cloete

Description: OSM Opening Concert 2016 Tags: OSM Opening Concert

The annual OSM Opening Concert will feature two brilliant South African musicians – world renowned recorder player, Stefan Temmingh, and harpsichordist, Erik Dippenaar.  Temmingh and Dippenaar will present the first half of the recital with works by Corelli, Roman and Geminiani.

For the second half the musicians will collaborate  with  the OSM Camerata (OSMC) under the baton of Xavier Cloete for the world première of the Concerto per Flauto Dolce, Clavicembalo e Orchestra (2016) composed by esteemed South African composer Hendrik Hofmeyr (*1957).  The concerto was commissioned for Temmingh and Dippenaar by the SAMRO Foundation (2015).

Stefan is residing in Germany and forms part of a new young generation of world-class recorder players often compared to the legendary Frans Brüggen.  Erik is currently serving as the artistic director of Camerata Tinta Barocca and has performed as a solo organist with several of SA’s leading orchestras.  He is laureate of the 2006 and 2009 RCM Music Competition.

Xavier Cloete, artistic director of the OSMC, is laureate of the Len van Zyl National Orchestral Conducting Competition (2013) and made his international debut in 2013 with the Mikkeli City Orchestra (Finland).

The OSMC was founded as a flagship chamber ensemble at the beginning of 2012 and made its international debut at the 13th International Conservatoire Festival (St Petersburg, Russia) with a programme by South African composers. In April 2013 the OSMC served as the orchestra for the world première of the Cello Concerto for an African Cellist by SA composer, Hans Huyssen, with SA cellist, Heleen du Plessis as soloist. The CD was released in December 2013 on the New Zealand Classical Music label, ODE Records.

Renowned SA composer Hendrik Hofmeyr collaborated before with Temmingh and Dippenaar when they premièred Hofmeyr's Recorder Concerto (2013) with members of the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra on occasion of the 7th Cape Town International Summer Music Festival.
