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.

Kinderspeletjies, a psycho drama by Marietjie Pretorius which was adapted for the stage by Kobus Strydom, will be performed by second-year students of the Unversity of the Free State’s Drama Department, under the direction of Gerben Kamper.

 

It is the evening before schools re-open in January. Five sixteen-year old girls from different backgrounds and diverse domestic circumstances arrive in their room at the hostel: The new one, Kinna, was specifically placed among a group of girls as a result of behavioural problems she experiences while being the only child of an elderly couple. Big and sexy, Lettie is very much beauty-conscious. Vanessa is the loner from a broken home and Kobie a self-conscious introvert.

 

And then comes Mary, the arrogant extrovert who is used to always getting her way. The pedantic hostel mother completes the cast.

 

The given allows for an explosive situation which can all too easily get out of control because of the girls’ personal experiences of group pressure, manipulation, popularity and a yearning for acceptance.

 

The context is universal, the situation devastating.

 

It highlights the quest school girls experience to establish their own identities, which up to now have been formed by parents, teachers and a confused grown-up society.

 

Kinderspeletjies will be presented in the Scaena Theatre on the UFS campus on 13 – 15 May 2015 at 19:30. Please note the age restriction of 13 years.
