Nettie Immelman Memorial Concert
2018-05-03

3 May 2018

Odeion

19:30

Legendary piano teacher, Nettie Immelman, passed away in 2011 and the OSM presented the first memorial concert in her honour in 2012. Since then it became an annual event on the OSM concert calendar. For this year’s concert the pianist Nicol Viljoen (Associated Professor at the OSM) will be the performing artist.

Nicol Viljoen is the foremost expert of Schenkerian analysis in South Africa. His training under world-renowned specialists in the United States of America is currently still our country’s most intensive contact with dynamic international developments concerning this highly specialized music-analytical system. His research during the past two decades has focused both on theoretical Schenker studies, and on its application within musical performance practice through structuralist aural analysis. His exceptionally versatile activities as music theorist, concert pianist, chamber musician, jazz pianist, and academic, has greatly contributed to an inclusive vision of music study at the UFS. During 2003, Nicol Viljoen produced the compact disc Franz Schubert/Johannes Brahms (Unfoldings UCD001) together with the violist John Wille. In 2011, he produced his second compact disc, Transcendental Schubert, on the Mukavi label.

We are all connected to each other in some way, but just how deep are these connections really?

When Arthur Schnitzler presented his play La Ronde in 1920, the play sent shockwaves through Europe. It was considered an immoral and inappropriate piece of theatre, mainly because of its sexual themes. But it has continued to fascinate audiences well into the twenty-first century because of Schnitzler’s excellent treatment of class difference and social hypocrisy.

La Ronde has now found its way to Bloemfontein, in a new adaptation by the advanced acting students of the UFS Department of Drama and Theatre Arts. In this version, entitled Around, the play has been re-written to reflect a contemporary South African society. Familiar characters take the stage, be it the local butcher, the reverend’s wife, a model or a taxi-driver, and all reveal themselves to be a part of a never-ending cycle of sex, addiction and power.

Around has been conceived and developed by the students under the watchful supervision of Dion van Niekerk and DeBeer Cloete. It can be seen at the Scaena Rehearsal Room Theatre from the 28 – 30 November at 19:30.

The play has a 16+ age restriction.

Bookings can be made through Computicket.
