The concert will be recited by OSM staff members and the OSM CAMERATA. The OSM has curated a special concert programme to commemorate celebrated composer Arnold van Wyk.

Koud is die Wind for Chamber Orchestra by Alfred Vorster
OSM Camerata
 
Koud is die Wind was commissioned from alumnus Alfred Vorster by the OSM NEW MUSIC INSIATIVE and will be premiered by the OSM CAMERATA under the baton of the composer. Vorster describes it as a composed interpretation based on the song Koud is die Wind and other themes from Arnold van Wyk’s celebrated cycle Vier weemoedige liedjies. The narrative of this composition aims to depict the final moments of life, characterized by flashbacks of various life experiences as the eternal light nears.

This gala concert will simultaneously serve as the annual OSM Dean’s concert.

The OSM’s new book entitled MUSICS OF THE FREE STATE (Musicology without Frontiers no 2) will formally be released on the 25th of August 2016 in the Odeion foyer directly after the concert. The publication received a sterling review from Prof Harry White, (University of Dublin) in the International Review of the Aesthetics and Sociology of Music 47 (1).
