Sundowner Concert: Antoinette Lohmann (Baroque violin)












Sundowner Concert: Antoinette Lohmann (Baroque violin)
Monday, 21 September 2009
Odeion
18:00
















The UFS Department of Music cordially invites you to the last free Sundowner Concert of 2009 with Antoinette Lohmann, Matildie Thom Wium (soprano), John Reid Coulter (harpsichord) and Jan Beukes (chamber organ).

Antoinette began her violin studies in 1987 at the Swelinck Conservatory with Jean Louis Stuurop and viola with Esther van Stralen. Her repertoire stretches from early seventeeth to late nineteenth century music. She has special interest in performance on unusual instruments such as the viola d’amore, the tenor violin and the piccolo violin and has extensively explored their repertoire. At the moment Antoinette is immersed in the study of the lira da braccio and is teaching Baroque violin and viola at the Utrecht Conservatory of Music. She is currently in South Africa for the Aardklop Baroque course. Her visit to the Department of Music is sponsored by the Dutch embassy.

Antoinette will also give a lecture on the Baroque violin on the same day between 13:00 and 14:00 in the Choir Room of the Odeion. Admission is free.
