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.

Sundowner Concert: Antoinette Lohmann (Baroque violin)
Monday, 21 September 2009
Odeion
18:00
















The UFS Department of Music cordially invites you to the last free Sundowner Concert of 2009 with Antoinette Lohmann, Matildie Thom Wium (soprano), John Reid Coulter (harpsichord) and Jan Beukes (chamber organ).

Antoinette began her violin studies in 1987 at the Swelinck Conservatory with Jean Louis Stuurop and viola with Esther van Stralen. Her repertoire stretches from early seventeeth to late nineteenth century music. She has special interest in performance on unusual instruments such as the viola d’amore, the tenor violin and the piccolo violin and has extensively explored their repertoire. At the moment Antoinette is immersed in the study of the lira da braccio and is teaching Baroque violin and viola at the Utrecht Conservatory of Music. She is currently in South Africa for the Aardklop Baroque course. Her visit to the Department of Music is sponsored by the Dutch embassy.

Antoinette will also give a lecture on the Baroque violin on the same day between 13:00 and 14:00 in the Choir Room of the Odeion. Admission is free.
