Opening Concert
With the FynArts Festival Orchestra and soloists Pieter Joubert
(violin) and Ashlin Grobbelaar (cello) conducted by Richard Cock
Sat 10 12:00 – 13:00
Family Concert
Richard Cock has been noted over the years for introducing young
artists to the public, and this year will be no exception. Pieter and Ashlin,
two very talented young artists from UCT, will take to the stage with the
FynArts Festival Orchestra.
They will play Tartini’s famous and fiendish Devil’s Trill Sonata for violin
and orchestra, a cello concerto by CPE Bach, and a double concerto by
Vivaldi. The orchestra will complement these works with the famous
Fantasia on Greensleeves by Vaughan Williams, and an early symphony
by Mozart.
The opening concert is always a highlight on the programme and a
wonderful way to celebrate not only the start of another FynArts Festival
but also South Africa’s amazing young talent, just waiting to bloom.
Sincere thanks to David and Sal Carter, Patrons of FynArts for
generously supporting the Opening Concert.
Richard Cock will introduce young and
old to the orchestra in a relaxed and fun
manner. Come and discover who plays
what, how the various instruments make
their sounds, and what they all sound like
together.
This is a wonderfully interactive event and
involves movement, singing and dancing!
Come and join in the fun.
The programme includes music by Fucik,
Mozart, Sousa, Lanchberry, Anderson and
several South African composers.
Don’t miss it.
