Nederburg concert celebrates Gypsy Life
2008-09-25
THE Nederburg Concert on Sunday at 17:00 pays homage to gypsy’s love of music and song as interpreted by composers Brahms and Dvorak. Entitled “Gypsy Life”, the fifth concert in the 2008 Nederburg Concert Series celebrates the life and times of these nomadic people. It features dynamic pianists Zorada Temmingh and Elna van der Merwe, as well as award-winning singers Minette du Toit-Pearce (mezzo-soprano) and Anina Wassermann (soprano). The vast variety of gypsy music and exciting life-style of the gypsies of Eastern Europe fascinated many artists through the ages and, in the case of Brahms and Dvorak, inspired them to create some of their most acclaimed work. Temmingh and Van der Merwe will play a selection of the Hungarian Dances for piano duet by Brahms, as well as some of Dvorak’s Slavonic Dances for piano duet. They will then accompany Du Toit-Pearce and Wassermann who will sing Brahms’ Zigeunerleben and Dvorak’s Sigeunerlewe respectively. Tickets are R125 and include a delicious finger supper served with fine Nederburg wines. Bookings can be made by calling Sonja Morkel on 021-809-8344 or Irma Alberts on 021-809-8106.
