ODEION

28 Mei 2016

19:30

 

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.
