The closing date for the submission of nominations for five members of the Convocation to the Excom of the Convocation was 18 May 2020 at 16:30. A total of six nominations were received and scrutinised, after which two nominations were declared invalid due to substantial non-conformance with the requirements laid down. The remaining four candidates are thus elected to the Excom and will serve for a period not exceeding five years.

We wish to congratulate the following four officials (in alphabetical order) with their election to the Excom of the Convocation:

1. Dr Pieter Bettings
2. Ms Ntombi Nhlapo
3. Mr Ntakuseni Razwiedani
4. Ms Nokuthula Sithole

A meeting of the Excom of the Convocation will be scheduled to discuss the one remaining vacancy in the Excom.

We wish to express our sincere gratitude to all those who participated in this process as well for their interest in, and commitment to the University and its affairs.

Received from: The Registrar and the President of the Convocation

Odeion School of Music presents Melodies From Paris on 6 May 2016

2016-05-03

Description: Melodies From Paris Tags: Melodies From Paris

On 6 May 2016, the French soprano Laetitia Grimaldi and pianist Ammiel Bushakevitz offer a programme of Romantic French songs, presented in the style of a Parisian salon concert from the belle époque, at the Bloemfontein Campus. From the heights of Marcel Proust to the decadence of the Moulin Rouge, the belle époque (circa 1871-1914) was a time when culture flourished more than ever in Paris. The salons of Paris became places where poets, painters, and composers would meet to share their art.

Items on the performance list include: Henri Duparc: L'Invitation au voyage; Soupir, Chanson triste, Franz Liszt: Jeux d'eaux à la villa d'Este, Gabriel Fauré: Le secret; Clair de lune; Romance sans paroles, Op. 17 No. 3, Jean-Philippe Rameau: Rigaudon, from Dardanus (trans. Godowsky), Reynaldo Hahn: À Chloris; Quand je fut pris au pavillon, Charles Gounod: Le premier jour de mai; Venise; Viens! Les gazons sont verts, Georges Bizet: Chansons-mélodies: Extase, Joseph Cantaloube: Baïlèro, from Chants d'Auvergne, Charles-Valentin Alkan: Recueil de chants, Op. 38 No. 1, Léo Delibes: Chant de l'almée; Les filles de Cadix.
