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.

Red Riding Hood’s cat is hungry. She has been fed this morning, but she needs her snack right now. Unfortunately Red Riding Hood is on her way to her Grandmother’s house. Between pulling a prank on the local woodcutter and sharing witticisms with a suspiciously looking dog-like creature, Red Riding Hood forgot to provide said snack. What is a cat to do?

 

The local Woodcutter is afraid. What will his mother say if she finds out he has lost his axe? He just can’t remember where he left it. What he does remember is the last time he saw his axe. It was just before the girl with the red hood sneaked up on him and gave his such a fright it nearly made his heart stop. What did she say? That she is on her way to her Grandmother’s house? Maybe he too should go there to see if she maybe took his axe.

 

Red Riding Hood’s grandmother is feeling a little bit under the weather. She is expecting her wild little grandchild to visit her later today, but at the moment she is left with her knitting. She needs wool, red wool. And three bags full, mind you. Unfortunately there has been a sheep-shortage lately and the local shops are all out of wool. Suddenly there’s a knock at the door. That must be Red Riding Hood…

 

Red Riding Hood is a fresh retelling of the ageless classic specifically aimed to entertain a newer generation of kids with the same story mom and dad loved when they were young. With dancing, songs and hilarious interactive comedy this production from the University of the Free State’s Department of Drama and Theatre Arts is sure to be great family fun. Hard at work behind the scenes of this delightful comedy for younger audiences are the energetic talents of a vibrant group of drama students. Directed by Walter Strydom, whose previous productions include the 2015 production of Jack and the Beanstalk and Gouelokkies en die Drie Bere (2016), Red Riding Hood hits the stage early in May.
