09 February 2022 | Story Lacea Loader

After careful consideration and in consultation with various stakeholders, the management of the University of the Free State (UFS) today decided that the online registration period will be extended by one week until Friday 18 February 2022.

In line with this decision, classes will commence on Monday 21 February 2022, to give students enough time to register and prepare for their academic activities.

The university’s decision to extend the online registration period derives, among others, from logistical and external factors that contributed to students only being able to register from the week of 7 February 2022.

Jaroslav Tÿma was born and educated in Prague. He graduated from the Prague Conservatory and the Academy of the Performing Arts, where he now teaches organ performance and improvisation. While still a student, he won prizes at several international competitions, including Linz, Prague and Leipzig. In addition to being a concert organist, he also performs on harpsichord, clavichord and forte piano. He is known throughout the world for his improvisations, which earned him first prizes at both the Haarlem and Nuremberg competitions. He has been guest performer at the Prague Spring Festival, Musikfestspiele in Dresden and the Flanders Festival and he continues to concertize in prestigious concert venues in Europe, the United States, South Africa and Japan. As an advocate of new music, Jaroslav Tÿma performs works by his contemporaries and is also a composer of note. Through 1990-1993 he performed the complete organ works of J.S. Bach in Prague. He records for radio, television, and numerous recording companies. His discography includes over twenty solo recordings, most recently a recording of the Bach Goldberg Variations on both the harpsichord and clavichord.
