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.

Arnold Van Wyk Centenary Gala Concert
Presented by the OSM in collaboration with FINE MUSIC RADIO

This gala concert will be presented during the annual SASRIM (South African Society for Research in Music) Congress which will be hosted by the Odeion School of Music (UFS). SASRIM 2016 is celebrating the 10th anniversary of SASRIM as well as the centenary of the birth of South African composer, Arnold van Wyk.

The concert will be recited by OSM staff members and the OSM CAMERATA. The OSM has curated a special concert programme to commemorate celebrated composer Arnold van Wyk. The first part of the programme will consist of three well-known signature Arnold van Wyk works hailing from different time periods in his career.

The concert will be life broadcasted by FINE MUSIC RADIO with Rodney Trudgeon as the host. Listen to this broadcast.

Koud is die Wind for Chamber Orchestra by Alfred Vorster
OSM Camerata
 
Koud is die Wind was commissioned from alumnus Alfred Vorster by the OSM NEW MUSIC INSIATIVE and will be premiered by the OSM CAMERATA under the baton of the composer. Vorster describes it as a composed interpretation based on the song Koud is die Wind and other themes from Arnold van Wyk’s celebrated cycle Vier weemoedige liedjies. The narrative of this composition aims to depict the final moments of life, characterized by flashbacks of various life experiences as the eternal light nears.

This gala concert will simultaneously serve as the annual OSM Dean’s concert.

The OSM’s new book entitled MUSICS OF THE FREE STATE (Musicology without Frontiers no 2) will formally be released on the 25th of August 2016 in the Odeion foyer directly after the concert. The publication received a sterling review from Prof Harry White, (University of Dublin) in the International Review of the Aesthetics and Sociology of Music 47 (1).
