Cape Classic | Programme 2012 

Music has many positive effects. It accompanies our moods and thoughts, gives us 

pleasure, engages and elevates our artistic sense and brings people together by allowing them 

to share a common experience that even transcends the boundaries of countries and continents. 

Music is capable of forging a firm bond of friendship that unites peoples and cultures. 

One outstanding example is the Cape Classic festival. The festival is a bridgehead between 

Germany and South Africa, between the State of Bavaria and Western Cape Province. The festival’s 

concept and the intense commitment of the artists involved are also having a great impact on 

South African society. It gives young people an opportunity to experience classical European 

music and seeks to arouse their enthusiasm for this artistic form. The festival’s educational 

activities are the source of many positive impulses. 

Western Cape Province and the State of Bavaria have been working very closely together for 

many years. I am very pleased that the Cape Classic festival provides an enchanting artistic 

accent to add to and intensify this partnership. It not only enriches cultural life at the Cape but 

is also a very special experience for the artists taking part, whose concerts and activities in the 

field of musical education lead to interesting encounters with an audience that is both curious 

and enthusiastic. 

To the friends of classical European music and all those who would like to join them, I should 

like to extend a cordial welcome to the concerts and activities at Cape Classic 2012. I thank the 

artists for their commitment and I wish the festival every possible success.

“Music gives us the power 

to heal the wounds of the past...” 

Since 2005, Cape Classic has been raising money for non-profit organizations and 

local trusts supporting social relief projects in the Cape regions by offering a set of excellent live 

concerts of classical music in South Africa each year. The proceeds of this initiative are being used to 

strengthen communities in South Africa and to help young and less privileged talents to develop. 

Furthermore, Cape Classic promotes the cultural exchange between different parts of the world 

by giving German and other international musicians a chance to play in front of music lovers in 

the Cape region. The Western Cape has had a long and fruitful partnership with Bavaria in Germany. 

Last year, we celebrated 15 years of partnership during the “Bavaria meets Western Cape Expo” 

in Cape Town where Cape Classic had its own stand and 20 kids from Jamestown got the chance 

to show their talent singing the Bavarian anthem. Being a patron of the 2012 edition of the Cape 

Classic festivals together with my German colleague Ms Emilia Müller, the Bavarian State Minister 

for Federal and European Affairs, is yet another proof that artistic and cultural events allow to 

connect people from all over the world. 

Playing and enjoying music together gives us the power to heal the wounds of the past and to 

celebrate the joy and prosperity the future presents. I therefore encourage the people of Cape 

Town and the Western Cape to take part in this wonderful event. 

Dr Ivan Meyer 

Provincial Minister of Cultural Affairs, Sports and Recreation 


“Cape Classic 2012 offers you 

a Feast for your Senses” 

Music is in the air of a warm and tranquil summer - nights with the stars of the African sky 

above you. The atmosphere is filled with the enchanting fragrance of blossoms and the sound 

of the classical concerts of Cape Classic! Welcome! 

Cape Classic is not only a festival of chamber music for the ultimate benefit of South Africa’s 

underprivileged children; Cape Classic is also an important facet of the rich partnership between 

Bavaria and Western Cape. I am proud to present Emilia Müller, Minster of Federal and European 

Affairs and Ivan Meyer, Minister of Cultural Affairs, Sport and Recreation as the new patrons of 

this eighth Cape Classic. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the Bavarian 

Government and to the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany here in Cape 

Town, as well as to all other sponsors! 

But now, relax and take your seat in one or another of our choice venues - elegant historic wine 

estates, romantic court yards, an amphitheatre or on the lawn of a picturesque garden with a 

breath-taking view of the mountains. What more does one need to feel the magic power of music 

and to be happy? Cape Classic of 2012 now invites you to share these magic moments in a festive 

round and to spoil yourself with a versatile wellness program. Cape Classic 2012 combines the 

beauty of nature, the fragrance of flowers, warm sunshine, the light breeze of a summer night, 

exquisite wines and cuisine and unforgettable chamber music at its best! Listen now to the most 

captivating of chamber music and enjoy A Feast for all Senses! Enjoy Cape Classic!

Education is the best provision 

for the journey to old age. (Aristotle) 

There are many different ways to 

realise a better education for children. With 

the donation of funds raised by the ticket sales 

of our concerts, Cape Classic supports different 

social projects in the Western Cape. We believe 

that children are the future of each country 

and therefore we concentrate on the education 

of children. In funding worthy charitable 

projects, the proper education of children is 

Cape Classic’s highest priority. 

For the last seven years, Cape Classic has supported 

the Greater Stellenbosch Development 

Trust in various ways. Cape Classic transfers a 

monthly stop order to a private soup kitchen, 

has built an extension building with toilets, provided 

school fees for sixteen orphans in 2011, 

bought sixty school uniforms and seconded the 

initiative of the James Sounds Project Arising 

out of this project, two pupils attracted such 

special attention because of their extraordinary 

talents, that Cape Classic took over the 

payment of their study fees at Stellenbosch 

University. Plans are still going ahead to build 

a children’s crèche in Rondomskrik (Swellendam) 

as there is no suitable facility available for this 

purpose at present. 

However, education does not always entail 

only study. Education is also an experience. 

Cape Classic endeavours to encourage local 

communities to gain access to classical music, 

as we sincerely believe that such music is not 

only life-enhancing but valuable. The Cape 

Classic workshops and its school concerts in 

Khayamandi, provide pupils with an opportunity 

to explore different issues in creative 

ways. These opportunities offer a unique 

experience of getting to know strange and unknown 

instruments and of working together 

with European masters of classical music. This 

support for underprivileged children also has 

a transformative effect on them, which will 

surely have a lasting effect. We hope that our 

music will open the door to magical moments 

for all of them! 

With all our benefit concerts of classical 

chamber music, the special events in Khayamandi 

and with our donations, Cape Classic 

supports the development of an exploring, 

enjoying and passionate new generation in 

Western Cape.

The undoubted leader of the brass 

section is the French horn. But when it made 

its first appearance, nobody used it indoors 

because it sounded too harsh. In France, 

the nobility used the horn during hunts and 

made up special codes to signal each other. It 

was even used by the night watch to call when 

there was trouble. Even though it is called the 

French horn, it started in Germany and was 

only later completed as we know it today, in 

France – and that is why its called a French 

horn. Some French horns are really two horns 

in one as they have two sets of tubing. The 

player switches between the two sets of coiled 

tubing by working a valve with his left thumb. 

One set of tubing gives a mellow, rich, deep 

tone. The other makes a higher, brighter 

sound. Once the French horn became part of 

the orchestra, its shape began to change. The 

tube got longer, the bell was made wider and 

The Magic 

of Music 2012 - 

The French 

Horn 

it now has crooks (slides) and valves. It is the 

only brass instrument with a funnel-shaped 

mouthpiece. If all of the tubing were uncoiled, 

it would measure over 6 metres long. There 

were two different kinds of horns mainly used 

in the 19th century, the natural horn and the 

double horn. 

Great care has been taken to find extraordinary 

masterpieces of well-known and lesser-known 

composers for exceptional instrumental combinations, 

like piano and horn, strings and 

horn and voice and horn. One of the clearest 

explorations to be found on the tone of the 

natural horn was written by Louis-François 

Dauprat, professor of horn at the Paris Conservatory. 

His charming Quintet No. 1 for 

horn, viola and violoncello will be presented 

by Cape Classic in our Courtyard Serenade on 

the 16th February, 2012. 


Mozart wrote four concertos for French horn, principally for the use of his friend, the horn player 

Ignaz Leutgeb. Two of these famous concertos, the outstanding Concerto No. 4 (15 February) 

and the heart-warming Concerto No. 1 (19 February), as well as the well-known ‘Romanze’ of 

his Concerto No. 3 (23 February) will certainly enchant our audiences. After a meeting in Paris 

in 1778 with Giovanni Punto, who was well-known as a composer and horn player at the time, 

Mozart wrote to his father: “Punto is magnifique!” The audience of Cape Classic can verify Mozart’s 

opinion on 17 February. 

For us, it’s nearly unbelievable that in 1800 a reviewer of a concert in Pest, Hungary, could 

write: “Who is this Beethoven? I never heard this name! Of course Punto - he is well known!” 

In Vienna, Beethoven composed his Horn Sonata in F major in only two days for the virtuoso 

horn player Punto and with piano for the two of them. Although they had no time to practise 

this piece, they had to repeat it immediately on the premiere in Vienna and, still today, it 

remains as one of the finest compositions of chamber music for those two instruments! The 

lyric inventions and the mobility of the horn using all technical possibilities enthuses audiences 

at all times and can be admired at our concert ‘Established’ on 24 February. 

A contemporary and lifelong friend of Beethoven and Haydn, Anton Reicha is now best remembered 

for his substantial early contribution to the wind quintette literature and his role as a teacher - 

his pupils included Franz Liszt and Hector Berlioz. At ‘Under the Stars’ (22 February) the Cape 

Classic audience has the unique chance to listen to one of those quintets, about which Reicha 

himself went on to say: “Encouraged by the success of this performance, I wrote eighteen more, 

bringing the number to twenty-four. They created a sensation throughout Europe!” It’s plain that this 

was not merely a passing sensation - to the present day and into the next century wind quintet 

players will be playing the music of Reicha. 

Whilst Franz Anton Hoffmeister is best known for his activities as a music publisher of many 

prominent Viennese composers of the era (including Beethoven, Haydn and Mozart), in the early 

1780’s he was one of Vienna’s most popular composers in his own right. To try and summarise 

Hoffmeister’s contribution to 18/19th century compositions, it may be said that they are all 

well-crafted but only rarely to be heard. They are certainly well worth listening to! (24 February). 

Some of his works approach the ambiance of Haydn and Mozart in their lighter moods and, for 

this reason alone, Hoffmeister deserves to sit near the front of all other famous composers of his 

time. The French horn is a magnificent instrument with a noble and rich sound. Dip into the 

universal of its sonorous chimes and velvety tones, glory in every concert at this year’s Cape Classic!

Germany and Switzerland. Naidu performed at the Prague Autumn Festival 

singing Mahler Songs of a Wayfarer and sang the third Symphony by Mahler 

with the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra in Tokyo. With Lorin Maazel 

she went on a concert tour to Valencia, Spain and La Scala in Milan. Zubin

Gesang in Berlin and at the Paula Lindberg-Salomon Competition. In 

1997 he won second prize at the International Song Competition at Wigmore 

Hall in London. Noack has made a name for himself particularly as a concert 

singer, but is also especially interested in Lied. He continues to work regularly 

in this genre with Thomas Quasthoff. In 2009 he made his debut at the Schubertiade 

Schwarzenberg. In 2010 he appeared as Wolfram von Eschenbach in 

Richard Wagners Tannhäuser (Opera Halle) and sung his first Kurvenal (in 

Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde) in the Deutschen Nationaltheater Weimar in 2011.

orchestra, as a soloist but also as a musician at international chamber music 

festivals. She was awarded first prize at the Concours Artistique d’Epinal 

and was a laureate at many international competitions. As the recipient of 

the Ferenc-Fricsay bursary in 2008, Amanda performed with the Deutschen

concertmaster of the “Junge Deutsche Philharmonie” (Young German Philharmonic) 

he travelled throughout Europe, performing under numerous 

renowned conductors, including Lorin Maazel and Daniel Barenboim. 

During this period, Fischer had already started his studies on old instruments, 

namely the violins of the Baroque era. Fischer has consequently 

become a sought after performer of Baroque era music. He performed with 

“Concentus Musicus Wien” under conductor Nicholas Harnoncourt and also 

with “Musica Antiqua Köln”, conducted by Reinhard Goebel. He has given 

concerts in many European countries as well as Japan, the USA and South Africa.

his involvement with the Argentinian Tango and consequent CD-production 

as well as his many performances with Quinteto Tocar, the quartet El Jaguar 

and the trio Mas Que Tango. 

Martin Vollmer (viola)

HELPwith a 

DONATION 

Educate! Inspire! Connect! 

Cape Classic’s motto. 

We support the EDUCATION 

of underprivileged but deserving 

children of the Western Cape. 

Every year, at the handing over of 

the Cape Classic donations, the 

performances of these children 

INSPIRE us. 

In this way, these children 

and Cape Classic are strongly 

LINKED! 

For example in 2011, Cape Classic 

assumed responsibility for the 

study fees of Alexander Kirkwood 

and Peter John Hartnick 

at the Conservatory at Stellen- 

bosch University. (See picture)

Subject to change

Enthusiasm for South Africa and a love for classical music have always been the 

main motivations for Gabi Zahn’s vision of Cape Classic, a festival which supports 

charitable projects of the Cape region through “The Magic of Music”. In the 

eighties, Gabi Zahn lived in South Africa with her husband and her four children 

for four years. Subsequently, in Germany where she now lives, she worked as a 

journalist specialising in cultural affairs, mainly classical music, where she wrote 

reviews of concerts and interviewed famous artists. Currently, she is spending all 

her time on the organisation of the annual Cape Classic.

Happiness depends upon ourselves. (Aristotle) 

To celebrate the wine lands of the Western Cape, 

To celebrate the classical music; 

To celebrate Lust of Life; 

To celebrate a Feast of all Senses; 

And… to make our audience happy! 

These are top priorities of Cape Classic! 

It is my sincere wish that you will enjoy our concerts 

of this current festival season and I hope to welcome 

you back in 2013 too!
