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.

OSM Opening Concert 2016

OSM Opening Concert 2016 with Stefan Temmingh (recorder), Erik Dippenaar (harpsichord) and the OSM Camerata with conductor Xavier Cloete

Description: OSM Opening Concert 2016 Tags: OSM Opening Concert

The annual OSM Opening Concert will feature two brilliant South African musicians – world renowned recorder player, Stefan Temmingh, and harpsichordist, Erik Dippenaar.  Temmingh and Dippenaar will present the first half of the recital with works by Corelli, Roman and Geminiani.

For the second half the musicians will collaborate  with  the OSM Camerata (OSMC) under the baton of Xavier Cloete for the world première of the Concerto per Flauto Dolce, Clavicembalo e Orchestra (2016) composed by esteemed South African composer Hendrik Hofmeyr (*1957).  The concerto was commissioned for Temmingh and Dippenaar by the SAMRO Foundation (2015).

Stefan is residing in Germany and forms part of a new young generation of world-class recorder players often compared to the legendary Frans Brüggen.  Erik is currently serving as the artistic director of Camerata Tinta Barocca and has performed as a solo organist with several of SA’s leading orchestras.  He is laureate of the 2006 and 2009 RCM Music Competition.

Xavier Cloete, artistic director of the OSMC, is laureate of the Len van Zyl National Orchestral Conducting Competition (2013) and made his international debut in 2013 with the Mikkeli City Orchestra (Finland).

The OSMC was founded as a flagship chamber ensemble at the beginning of 2012 and made its international debut at the 13th International Conservatoire Festival (St Petersburg, Russia) with a programme by South African composers. In April 2013 the OSMC served as the orchestra for the world première of the Cello Concerto for an African Cellist by SA composer, Hans Huyssen, with SA cellist, Heleen du Plessis as soloist. The CD was released in December 2013 on the New Zealand Classical Music label, ODE Records.

Renowned SA composer Hendrik Hofmeyr collaborated before with Temmingh and Dippenaar when they premièred Hofmeyr's Recorder Concerto (2013) with members of the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra on occasion of the 7th Cape Town International Summer Music Festival.
