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.”

Description: Munich Brass Tags: Munich Brass“From the first note to the last, this was a fun, inspiring, engaging and quite simply brilliant concert.” 

(Gareth Harvey, What’s on in Cape Town)

 

After the five gentlemen of Harmonic Brass Munich’s visits to Bloemfontein in 2012 and 2014, concertgoers could not stop talking about the extraordinary and highly entertaining concerts they have been treated with.  The OSM could not let the chance go by to invite them to Bloemfontein with their next SA tour. 

 

Since 1991, the Harmonic Brass Munich has been renowned for its big, elegant brass sound.  Carnegie Hall (New York), Arts Center (Seoul), Leipzig Gewandhaus: the five gentlemen are welcomed and feel at home everywhere in the world. Harmonic Brass travels around the globe playing around 120 concerts a year with different programmes.  An ensemble that spreads good humor: meticulous filing at their performances combined with baroque joie de vivre and serious musical works alternating with giggling boyishness. Five individuals, who couldn't be more unique, melt into a remarkable unity on stage.  Harmonic Brass is supported by an incredibly large number of fans.  Representing the Goethe Institute, Harmonic Brass has been a cultural ambassador all over the world since 2000 and the musicians from Munich also present numerous international workshops.  Anyone who has been to a Harmonic Brass concert knows what the Süddeutsche Zeitung means when writing about an ensemble that "… with its glamorous-virtuous way of performing is one of the best of its kind worldwide."

 

The members of the group have changed since their last visit.  Gergely Lukács has left the group and a lady, Elisabeth Fessler, has succeeded him.

 

Hans Zellner (trumpet) studied with Prof Lachenmaier, Rolf Quinque and Wolfgang Guggenberger at the Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich as well as the Hochschule für Musik und Theater (also in Munich).

 

Elisabeth Fessler (trumpet) studied with Prof Wolfgang Guggenberger at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik Trossingen and joined Harmonic Brass Munich in 2014.

 

Andreas Binder (French horn) studied with Prof Siegfried Hammer and Prof Wolfgang Gaag at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater.
