Presented by the FSSO in collaboration with the OSM

Conductor: Daniel Boico
Soloist: Alissa Margulis (violin)

Saturday, 18 August 2018
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).

The OSM Camerata and two choirs, the Alumni Voices and the Odeion Vocal Consort (Lance Phillip) are joining forces to produce a concert entitled Cantate Domino (Sing to the Lord). 

 

The original idea was initiated by the conductor of Alumni Voices, Leona Geldenhuys, who wanted to curate a programme consisting mainly of early church music with instrumental accompaniment. Within that context the Odeion Vocal Concort was invited to join the project. Main items on the programme will include the Beatus Vir by Monteverdi and Lauda Jerusalem by Vivaldi with mezzo-sopranos Teresa de Wit and Matildie Thom Wium serving as the soloists. Organist Jan Beukes and pianist Cézarre Strydom will be responsible for the continuo parts to be performed respectively on the organ and harpsichord. The Odeion Vocal Consort will recite Herr wenn Ich nur Dich Hab by Dietrich Buxtehude.

 

Violist Elmarie van der Vyver who, in recent years, has focused exponentially on the fach of Historically Informed Practice (HIP) was contracted to serve as instructor to members the OSM Camerata. In addition Van der Vyver also had coaching sessions with the conductors of the three ensembles.

 

Apart from the component of old music two other contributions were added to the programme from the high Romantic period as well as a piece of music from our times. The Stabat Mater of Rheinberger will be recited by the Alumni Voices with organ accompaniment and the OSM Camerata will perform the Lux Aurumque by acclaimed contemporary composer, Eric Whitacre, arranged for string orchestra by South African composer Keith Moss.

 

ADMISSION:

R110 (adults), R70 (pensioners, students and learners), R60 (UFS staff), R40 (group bookings of 10+)
