Award-winning South African musicians, clarinetist Danrè Strydom and pianist Grethe Nöthling, started an exciting collaboration in 2016. Since recently returning to South Africa after several years abroad, these two musicians aim to provide global audiences with exhilarating performances of not only well-known and loved repertoire, but also of more unknown and interesting repertoire. The Duo performed at 2017 South African festivals and various national concert series. Both musicians (as part of Trio Intolerance) won the Free State Artists of the Year award at the Free State Arts Festival (2017). During 2018 the Duo was invited to perform at the International Clarinet Festival in Belgium. While in Europe, they recorded the first part of their CD of newly composed as well as underplayed South African compositions for clarinet and piano.

In this concert, titled Clarinet & Piano: Opus ZA, the Duo will be performing some of the lovely but demanding South African compositions which will appear on the CD. The selection includes works by well-established composers such as Clare Loveday, Noel Stockton, Hendrik Hofmeyr and Peter Klatzow, to mention a few. All the works are relatively short compositions, so the programme will include nine works in total. To emphasise the character of each of these compositions, South African visual artist, David Griessel, will do nine sketches that will be displayed on a screen behind the musicians. These videos made by Bloemfontein videographer, Zita, will include the complete drawing process, and the audience can follow each line and brush stroke during the performance of the music. After the concert, these original sketches, titled the same as the compositions, will be sold to interested audience members. These will be unique sketches, and the audience can look forward to this extraordinary collaboration of two musicians with a visual artist.

David Griessel graduated with a bachelor in Fine Arts from the University of the Free State. Earlier in 2018, he did an art residency, book launch and exhibition in Caylus and Saint Antonin (France). He currently works as an artist/writer/illustrator in Cape Town and is the art editor of the literary journal, New Contrast. He is part of the artist’s collective, Studio Clowder.

Harmonic Brass Munich 6 March 2012

Odeion
19:30

Since 1991, the Harmonic Brass Munich has been renowned for their big, elegant brass sound. Carnegie Hall (New York), Arts Center (Seoul), Leipzig Gewandhaus: the five gentlemen are welcomed and feel at home everywhere in the world. Harmonic Brass travels around the globe playing around 120 concerts a year with changing programmes. An ensemble that spreads good humor: meticulous filing at their performance combined with baroque joie de vivre, serious musical work alternating with giggling boyishness. Five individuals, who couldn't be more unequal, melt to a unity on stage that is hardly ever to be met. Harmonic Brass is supported by an incredibly large number of fans. For the Goethe Institute Harmonic Brass has since 2000 been a cultural ambassador all over the world and the musicians from Munich also hold numerous international workshops. Whoever has been to a Harmonic Brass concert knows what the “Süddeutsche Zeitung” means when writing about an ensemble that "… with its glamorous-virtuous way of performing is one of the best of its kind worldwide."
