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.

Nettie Immelman Memorial Concert

with Jeanne-Minette Cilliers (piano)
Wednesday, 8 August 2012
Odeion
19:30

Legendary piano teacher, Nettie Immelman, passed away in 2011. The Odeion School of Music decided to arrange an annual concert in her memory and Jeanne-Minette Cilliers was the obvious choice of a celebrated pianist to invite to perform in this first concert.
Jeanne-Minette Cilliers received lessons in her native country (South Africa) from amongst others, Nettie Immelman and Japie Human. Among the most versatile musicians of her generation she has been called “a pianistic poet”, garnering rave reviews for her color-rich and imaginative performances.

She made her orchestra debut at the age of 12 in South Africa playing Joaquín Turina's Rapsodia sinfónica. From a young age she won top prizes in national competitions including the coveted UNISA Overseas Music Scholarship and two special prizes at the UNISA International Piano Competition in 2000. International highlights include top prizes at the Indianapolis Matinee Musicale, the Kalamazoo Young Artists Bach Competition and the Nena Wideman Concerto Competition.

Increasingly in demand as a collaborator, Jeanne-Minette has performed in Austria, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Israel, Japan, Sweden, South Africa, Barbados, and across North America - including festivals and venues such as the Irving S. Gilmore Keyboard Festival, the Ravinia Festival, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall in New York City. She has collaborated with artists such as Frans Helmerson, Janos Starker, Roger Vignoles, Martina Arroyo, Håkan Hagegård, David Daniels, Joyce Castle, Lise Lindstrom, Lester Lynch, actor Zoe Caldwell, and director Peter Sellars.

Currently she is on the faculty at the Manhattan School of Music, while also a music director for the Martina Arroyo Opera Foundation in New York City. Jeanne-Minette has recorded regularly for the SABC, and has featured on various SABC television and radio programmes.

She holds two performance licentiates in chamber music and vocal accompanying (equal to an arts diploma), both cum laude, from UNISA - received at the early age of eighteen. She earned her B.Mus. and M.Mus. degrees (with distinction) from the University of Michigan. As a student of Menahem Pressler, she earned an Artist Diploma from Indiana University. Jeanne-Minette is based in New York City.
