The ODEION SCHOOL OF MUSIC aspires to excellence and aims to provide superior tuition at an international standard. The South African higher music education arena remains isolated in many senses, and this impression is reinforced by a declining number of students studying music. The OSM aims to fill these voids by pro-actively generating and facilitating excellence on several levels simultaneously. A multilateral policy towards internationalisation and innovation constitutes the cornerstone of our strategy.

The Liesbeth Schlumberger-Kurpershoek Organ Chair was founded in 2015 by the OSM and is positioned under the auspices of the OSM International Artistic Mentorship Programme (IAMP). The main objective of the IAMP being establishing partnerships with musicians (soloists, chamber musicians, and pedagogues) who are pursuing and already have established careers as musicians internationally. On par with international tendencies, the aim is to deploy these experts as instructors to coach and mentor OSM students complimentary to the local residential OSM performance faculty.

The amount of students studying the organ has declined drastically in South African during the last two decades. Therefore, it is imperative for the OSM that the anticipated initiatives and intellectual capital generated by the organ chair will be optimally accessible to all South African students, lecturers, liturgical and amateur organists.

The Liesbeth Schlumberger Organ Chair is assembled of an annual week-long intensive tuition programme to mentor and tutor SA organ students and organists under the tutelage of Liesbeth Schlumberger. Complimentary Liesbeth presents two concert recitals contrasting in nature during this timeslot as well as a lecture.

Apart from the scheduled annual programme to be hosted by the OSM in South Africa, our long-term aim is that talented OSM organ students will have the opportunity to study a semester or more of their studies under the auspices of Liesbeth Schlumberger and her colleagues in France at Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Lyon (Lyon CNSMD). Formal discussions with the aim of forging of a bi-lateral agreement between the Lyon CNSMD and the Odeion School of Music is planned for this year.

The OSM has presented already two already two highly successful events of the Liesbeth Schlumberger Organ Leaning Chair in 2015 and 2016. For both events students and organist from all over the country participated as master students at the event. The third Liesbeth Schlumberger Organ Leaning Chair is scheduled to take place from 28 September – 5 October 2018.”

FOLK BAROQUE

with

  • Bridget Rennie-Salonen (traverso)
  • Darryn Prinsloo (recorder)

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.
