This concert is dedicated to Noel Stockton – legendary Jazz pianist who has established a wide reputation as a leading jazz arranger, composer, performer and teacher.

 

Marc Duby was born in Cape Town where he obtained a BA degree (majoring in English) from the University of Cape Town in 1975, having begun his professional career as electric and acoustic bassist in that city in 1972. He returned from overseas to begin musical studies at the University of Cape Town in 1980, culminating in the award of the first masters’ degree in jazz performance (cum laude) in South Africa (University of Natal, 1987) under the supervision of Prof Darius Brubeck. Duby completed his PhD thesis at the University of Pretoria in 2007 on the topic of Soundpainting - the framework for live composition developed by the New York composer / saxophonist Walter Thompson. Awarded established researcher status in 2010 by the National Research Foundation, he has presented papers at conferences in Brazil, England, Greece, India, Italy, Mexico, and the United States.

 

A prize-winning composer of film music, Marc Duby is active as a performer, composer/arranger, and music educator, and currently serves as research professor in musicology in the Department of Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology at UNISA. 

 

Viljoen, associate professor and acting Artistic Head of the Odeion School of Music (UFS), 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”.
