Camerata Tinta Barocca (CTB), founded in Cape Town by violinist Quentin Crida (July 2004), is the leading South African Baroque ensemble playing on period instruments. Its name is derived from the musicians' passion for Baroque music and red wine. The members include some of Cape Town's finest musicians who embrace a historically informed performance practice approach. CTB's concerts have been broadcast on Fine Music Radio and have received critical acclaim in the Cape Times and Die Burger. Mostly playing music from the 18th century, CTB has worked with leaders in their fields, such as Baroque violinists Antoinette Lohmann and Pauline Nobes; violinists David Juritz, Darragh Morgan and Zoe Beyers; countertenor Christopher Ainslie; male soprano Philipp Mathmann; recorder player Stefan Temmingh; mandolin player Alon Sariel and conductor Arjan Tien.

Apart from CTB's annual concert series in their home, St Andrew's Presbyterian Church (Cape Town), the ensemble regularly accompanies opera and oratorio performances, and performs in festivals throughout South Africa. CTB also has an active outreach component, which includes an annual education tour to the West Coast (the Matzikama Music Week), the Sunshine Concerts (an outreach programme for people unable to attend concerts because they are elderly, indigent or disabled in some way), as well as a regular collaboration with the Keiskamma Music Academy (Eastern Cape).

Since 2011 CTB has gradually moved towards playing on period instruments. Currently it is the only period ensemble in South Africa that regularly plays in orchestral format, performing most of its annual concerts on period instruments. In 2013 CTB, in collaboration with the Cape Consort, gave the first South African period performance of Handel's Messiah. During November 2016 CTB played for Cape Town Opera's first production to use a period instrument orchestra: Monteverdi's L'Orfeo, directed by Jaco Bouwer and conducted by Erik Dippenaar. In December 2016 CTB was nominated for a kykNET Fiesta award for a programme titled Handel in the Drawing Room presented during the 2016 Klein Karoo Klassique festival. In September 2017 CTB successfully launched the first annual Cape Town Baroque Festival.

In 2015 CTB set up a collaboration with the early music ensemble Collegium Musicum at the South African College of Music, University of Cape Town, through which two student cadets annually receive hands-on training in period performance in CTB projects. The cadet scheme is generously supported by the Claude Leon Foundation. In July 2015 Erik Dippenaar was appointed Artistic Director of CTB, Michael Maas (former CEO of the Artscape Theatre Centre) as Administrative Coordinator and Cheryl de Havilland as Outreach Coordinator.

Jan Hugo - piano recital
(Petronel Malan piano recital cancelled)
25 August 2011
Odeion
19:30

It is with great regret that we have to inform all concert-goers that Petronel Malan will unfortunately not be able to undertake her upcoming concert tour to South Africa.

Petronel has been diagnosed with rheumatic fever just a few days ago. She may under no circumstances travel or perform.

We were however very fortunate that the brilliant young and upcoming concert pianist, Jan Hugo, was available and agreed on short notice to perform in the Odeion on the same date. Thus, concert-goers may use their Petronel Malan tickets to attend the concert by Jan Hugo. Concert-goers may however, if they choose to not go to the Jan Hugo concert, collect a refund at any Compiticket outlet before the concert.

Jan Hugo recently, in July 2011, won the UNISA National Piano Competition. He was born in Bloemfontein and at the age of 11 years he participated in the International Competition for Pianists “Virtuosi per Musica” in Usti nad Labem (Czech Republic) and at 12 year he won the Musicon Senior Primary Piano Competition (Bloemfontein) as well as the Sanlam Music Competition (Cape Town). At the age of 15 years, he won the category “Soloists 18 years old” in the International Piano Competition “Carlo Soliva” in Casale Monferrato (Italy).

At the young age of 13 years he was invited to further his studies in Italy at the Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali “Vecchi-Tonelli” in Modena. In 2006 he was admitted for a Master’s Diploma in Piano Performance at the Accademia Pianistica Internazionale “Incontri col Maestro” (Imola) where he currently studies with Franco Scala and Boris Petrushansky

In the 2007/8 academic year he was accepted to study for a B.Mus. degree at the Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicale “Vecchi-Tonelli”a and in 2011 he received his degree (cum laude).

Jan has participated in various master classes with internationally acclaimed professors and pianists such as Michel Dalberto, Robert Levin, Jin Ju, Riccardo Risaliti, David Ascanio, Ada, Wodnicki and Joseph Stanford.

He has played recitals in Rome, Milan, Bologna, Modena and various other towns in Italy. He has also performed as soloist with the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra and the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra. Jan is also active as a chamber musician.
