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.

Celebrating the 200th anniversary of Robert Schumann’s birth, the FSSO will perform two works by the composer: the popular Piano Concerto in A minor and the Symphony No. 1 (“Spring”) at the launch concert of the 11th Odeion Musik Fest. This year’s fest is dedicated to the music of Handel and Schumann.

Internationally acclaimed conductor Conrad van Alphen will be on the podium. As artistic director and chief conductor of Sinfonia Rotterdam he has moulded this orchestra to one of the best orchestras in The Netherlands who host their own concert series in Rotterdam.  Conrad van Alphen is a popular guest conductor of various orchestras nationally and internationally.  He regularly conducts orchestras in The Netherlands, England, Germany, Bulgaria, Russia, Slovenia, Poland, South Africa, China and Mexico.

The soloist in die piano concerto will be Albie van Schalkwyk who will return to the Odeion stage for the first time since he moved from Bloemfontein to Cape Town at the beginning of last year. Van Schalkwyk, who was on the staff of the Department of Music of the UF for 12 years, is now professor of piano at the College of Music in Cape Town.

The programme will open with movements from the Second Suite from Handel’s Water Muisc.
