Odeion
19:30

The Free State Symphony Orchestra and the OSM invites you to the third symphony concert of the year featuring international guests Daniel Boico (conductor) and the graceful Alissa Margulis (violinist). The long-awaited symphony will take place August 18, 2018 at 19:30 in the Odeion. This concert is presented in collaboration with the Odeion School of Music.

Due to circumstances beyond control, the promised Violin Concerto in D minor by Beethoven was replaced by the gloriously lyrical Violin Concerto in G minor by Bruch. The powerful and dramatic Egmont Overture by Beethoven and Schubert’s Symphony No 6 in C, will round off the programme.

Daniel Boico was born in Israel to musician parents and raised in both Paris and the US, as his father Fima Boico, was concertmaster of Orchestra de Paris and the second violinist of the Fine Arts Quartet. Boico was initially trained as a singer before joining the class of legendary Russian conducting professor Ilya Musin at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory, Russia. He has extensive experience in music administration, planning and programming, having worked as Manager of Artistic Administration of the New York Philharmonic and as executive assistant to Daniel Barenboim at the Chicago Symphony and West-Eastern Divan Orchestra as well as for Chicago Symphony.

Alissa Margulis was born in Freiburg (Germany), into a family of Russian musicians. At the age of four, she started to learn the violin and the piano with Prof. Wolfgang Marschner. She made her first public appearance at the age of seven with the Budapest Soloists. At the age of ten, she won the first prize at the Spohr Youth Competition and at the German national competition Jugend Musiziert within the same year. She is a regular guest at international classical music festivals, and a privileged chamber music player who performs with a Guadagnini Violin dated 1754, a private loan from Jonathan Moulds.

Alissa is an accomplished musician with numerous awards like the Pro Europa Prize awarded by Daniel Barenboim (Berlin, 2002) and the Nouveau Laureat du Festival Juventus (Cambrai, 2004).

Yerma embodies every woman’s desire to have a child of her own. As a wife in a conservative society with strict traditions and values, gossiping townswomen who loves to talk about others pain and a man who puts all his effort into his lands and do not recognize the urge of his wife for a child. Fredrico Garcia Lorca’s Yerma, has all the elements of a Greek tragedy. Yerma, a young wife filled with expectations, wants above all else a child. To such an extent that she only sees her husband as a fertility instrument. The husband, Juan, believes that he provides in everything that Yerma needs. His views are based on the moral standards and suffocating aspirations towards honour and pride in a society that lives from the earth. Yerma’s encompassing urge to be fertile becomes madness, her only motivation, and this is laid bare like a naked nerve ending. Stephanie Brink, known for her colourful and risky productions, (The Maids; Deathwatch, Die Van Aardes van Grootoor; Bloodwedding), takes this play and its many facets of poetic language, dream scenes and barren surrealism on. Original choreography by Godfrey Manenye and newly composed music by Erika Ludic en Angelo Mockie. Song and dance, ritual depictions and passionate scenes together with the talents of Ilne Fourie (Impi, Die Begrafnis), DeBeer Cloete (Zollie; Deathwatch) and a group of second year Drama students will leave you an unforgettable theatre experience.


- 26, 27, 28, and 29 May at 19h30 in the Wynand Mouton theatre. The duration of the show is 90 min. and age restriction of 13. Bookings at Computicket.
