The Cape Town Concert Series is building an exciting line-up of artists for 2023. To accommodate as many artists as possible, both locally and internationally, they are continuing to work concert by concert with occasional venue and time changes.
Next four concerts:
On Saturday, 11 February the Cape Town Baroque Orchestra presents a celebration of the music of Purcell. The programme includes a line-up of instrumental repertoire and arias from his most famous stage works, including King Arthur, Dioclesian, Faerie Queene and Dido and Aeneas.
The concert, performed on period instruments, will be directed from the harpsichord by the CTBO’s Artistic Director, Erik Dippenaar and features German sopranist-countertenor Philipp Mathmann. The performance will be followed by a short Q&A session with the orchestra and soloists.
The next recital will be at Christchurch Constantia. On Saturday, 11 March, violinist Rachel-Lee Priday returns to the Concert Series in a recital with pianist Francois du Toit. They will perform Sonatas by Beethoven, Schubert and Poulenc. The programme also includes Bartok’s Six Romanian Folk Dances and the Rhapsody Nr 1 for solo violin by Jessie Montgomery.
On Saturday, 15 April, by popular demand, musicians from the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra will be featured in a concert of chamber music. A mixed programme of string, wind and brass chamber music offers the audience a chance to connect with the musicians on a more intimate platform. Works include Mendelssohn’s String Octet Op. 20 and the Serenade for Winds Op 44 by Dvorak.
All three concerts start at 11am.
On Friday 5 May there will be an evening concert featuring award-winning tenor Levy Sekgapane. Levy will be in Cape Town as part of the revival of Bizet’s Pearl Fishers for Cape Town Opera and will present for the Concert Series a programme spanning Scarlatti to Bellini, Rossini to Tosti. The concert will be in the Baxter Concert Hall at 7pm.
Tickets for all the concerts available at Webtickets.
