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.”

The OSM Camerata and two choirs, the Alumni Voices and the Odeion Vocal Consort (Lance Phillip) are joining forces to produce a concert entitled Cantate Domino (Sing to the Lord). 

 

The original idea was initiated by the conductor of Alumni Voices, Leona Geldenhuys, who wanted to curate a programme consisting mainly of early church music with instrumental accompaniment. Within that context the Odeion Vocal Concort was invited to join the project. Main items on the programme will include the Beatus Vir by Monteverdi and Lauda Jerusalem by Vivaldi with mezzo-sopranos Teresa de Wit and Matildie Thom Wium serving as the soloists. Organist Jan Beukes and pianist Cézarre Strydom will be responsible for the continuo parts to be performed respectively on the organ and harpsichord. The Odeion Vocal Consort will recite Herr wenn Ich nur Dich Hab by Dietrich Buxtehude.

 

Violist Elmarie van der Vyver who, in recent years, has focused exponentially on the fach of Historically Informed Practice (HIP) was contracted to serve as instructor to members the OSM Camerata. In addition Van der Vyver also had coaching sessions with the conductors of the three ensembles.

 

Apart from the component of old music two other contributions were added to the programme from the high Romantic period as well as a piece of music from our times. The Stabat Mater of Rheinberger will be recited by the Alumni Voices with organ accompaniment and the OSM Camerata will perform the Lux Aurumque by acclaimed contemporary composer, Eric Whitacre, arranged for string orchestra by South African composer Keith Moss.

 

ADMISSION:

R110 (adults), R70 (pensioners, students and learners), R60 (UFS staff), R40 (group bookings of 10+)
