ARNOLD BOSMAN Commemorative Concert 2015

ARNOLD BOSMAN Commemorative Concert

5 February 2015

Odeion

19:30

 

On 5 February 2015 the Odeion School of Music will present the annual special memorial concert in honour of Arnold Bosman, renowned conductor and pianist. The first memorial concert took place in 2010 to commemorate five years since his death in 2005.  Arnold has developed, especially during the last decade of his life, as a diverse and prominent musical figure and as both performer and conductor he made a significant contribution to musical performance and research in Italy.

 

The piano duo, Flying Fingers, with Johan Cromhout and Brigitte Botha will perform the following works:

Saint-Saëns: Variations on a theme by Beethoven in E-flat, Op. 35

Mendelssohn: Allegro Brillante in A major, Op. 92

Bennet: Divertimento for two pianos: A four piece Suite

 

Flying Fingers is regarded as Bloemfontein’s most popular piano duo combination.  This partnership started in 1994 when they were both teaching at the St Michael’s School for Girls.  Over the years, with the support of Prof Japie Human, they made an in depth study on the piano duo repertoire.  Their repertoire currently consists of the most popular and most important compositions in this genre.  Both pianists obtained their MMus degrees (cum laude).at the UFS as well as their Performers’ and Teachers’ Licentiates from UNISA and ABRSM.  Brigitte distinguishes herself in the field of chamber music and accompaniment, while Johan is known in South Africa as a jazz pianist and accompanist of singers for Lieder performances.   Johan has also performed as soloist with the Odeion Sinfonia.

 

As duo they perform and have performed at Old Presidency concerts as well as at the Odeion Chamber Fest concerts.  In 2010 they received the award for the best Free State artists at the Volksblad Arts Festival. In 2011, at the Vryfees, they were nominated for awards in two categories.

 

In 2013 Johan received his PhD degree at the UFS. He has written his thesis on Arnold Bosman.
