Celebrating the 200th anniversary of Robert Schumann’s birth, the FSSO will perform two works by the composer: the popular Piano Concerto in A minor and the Symphony No. 1 (“Spring”) at the launch concert of the 11th Odeion Musik Fest. This year’s fest is dedicated to the music of Handel and Schumann.

Internationally acclaimed conductor Conrad van Alphen will be on the podium. As artistic director and chief conductor of Sinfonia Rotterdam he has moulded this orchestra to one of the best orchestras in The Netherlands who host their own concert series in Rotterdam.  Conrad van Alphen is a popular guest conductor of various orchestras nationally and internationally.  He regularly conducts orchestras in The Netherlands, England, Germany, Bulgaria, Russia, Slovenia, Poland, South Africa, China and Mexico.

The soloist in die piano concerto will be Albie van Schalkwyk who will return to the Odeion stage for the first time since he moved from Bloemfontein to Cape Town at the beginning of last year. Van Schalkwyk, who was on the staff of the Department of Music of the UF for 12 years, is now professor of piano at the College of Music in Cape Town.

The programme will open with movements from the Second Suite from Handel’s Water Muisc.
