Nettie Immelman Memorial Consert

with Nicol Viljoen (piano)

21 May 2015

Odeion

19:30

 

Legendary piano teacher, Nettie Immelman, passed away in 2011.  The Odeion School of Music presented the first memorial concert in her honour during 2012.  Jeanne-Minette Cilliers, celebrated pianist and former pupil of Immelman, was the obvious choice of a celebrated pianist to be invited to perform in the first concert.  Pianist Nicol Viljoen performed in the second memorial concert followed by a performance by Ruth Goveia (piano) with the Odeion String Quartet.  This year Nicol will once again take to the stage for the fourth annual Nettie Immelman Memorial Concert.

 

Viljoen, associate professor and acting Artistic Head of the Odeion School of Music, is the foremost expert of Schenkerian Analysis in South Africa and is a celebrated South African pianist.  Upon the release of his second CD, Transcendental Schubert, critic Paul Boekkooi remarked the following about Viljoen’s playing: “Viljoen se spel weerspieël Schubert se ander-wêreldse gevoel en intieme spiritualiteit en versoen die komponis se Klassieke én Romantiese inslag op ideale wyse”.

 

PROGRAMME

Mozart: Sonata in F major, K.332

Schubert: Sonata in A minor, D.784

Chopin: 12 selected Mazurkas

Chopin: Ballad No. 1 in G minor, Op. 23
