Nettie Immelman Memorial Concert

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.

PRESS RELEASE

 

Swanemeer, based on Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet “Swan Lake”, will be presented for the first time as a children’s play in Bloemfontein. With this performance of Swanemeer, the drama department at the University of the Free State attempts to make classical love stories accessible to children.

 

Karen Combrinck, who last year did the adaptation of Shakespeare’s ‘n Midsomernagdroom, this time adapted Swanemeer’s romantic love story of the beautiful Odette and her Prince, Prince Siegfried, into an exciting play which will delight young and old.

 

Swanemeer tells the story of Princess Odette who was turned into a swan by the jealous Sorceress Von Rothbart. Only a man with a pure heart and love for her, can break the spell by asking her to marry him. Odette and her swan friends are desperately searching for such a man who can conquer her heart and break the spell for ever.

 

Prince Siegfried, who is now 21 years of age, in turn is looking for a sweet girl with a good and loving heart whom he could make his wife. Sounds too good to be true? Well, true love’s way is never easy and there are many obstacles to overcome before Odette and Prince Siegfried can finally be together.

 

Swanemeer features a prince and princess, gorgeous swans, a spoilt brat, jealous sorceress and hysterical page, and the beautiful Fairy Queen. Set in a picture perfect forest, with astounding costumes, this fairy-like tale is a recipe for tons of excitement and enchantment. Don’t miss this opportunity to introduce the young (and everyone else!) to a classical work. Directed by Gerben and Marijda Kamper, it will be performed by drama students of the UFS from 27 – 29 August 2015. Tickets are available at Computicket.
