“Spring: the music of open windows.”
Durban City Orchestra
presents
A Classical Spring Concert
St Thomas Church, Musgrave: Sun 13 Oct at 3pm
Northlands Bowling Club: Sun 20 Oct at 3pm
Haydn, Beethoven, Mozart and more
Music-lovers are invited to an intimate afternoon concert in the company of the Durban City Orchestra (DCO) as they perform a magnificent spring-inspired programme of Haydn, Beethoven, Mozart and more, at two different concerts: St Thomas Church, Musgrave on Sunday 13 October at 3pm and Northlands Bowling Club on Sunday 20 October at 3pm.
The Durban City Orchestra is repeated the same Spring programme twice – in Musgrave and Durban North.
The orchestra, one of the longest running orchestras in the country, has a complement of approximately 30 active members who get together weekly. The orchestra includes two accomplished professional musicians in Charl van der Merwe as Resident Conductor and Jitske Brien as Concert Master, joined by guest artists.
The programme is a carefully curated programme of always popular classics: Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana – a captivating instrumental piece from Pietro Mascagni’s one-act opera Cavalleria Rusticana; Carmen Suite No. 1 by Georges Bizet – a brilliant orchestral arrangement that distils the essence of his renowned opera; Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony Finale which stands as one of the most iconic and transformative moments in classical music; Symphony No.12 by Mozart – an early work that showcases the young composer’s burgeoning talent; Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 88 – a splendid example of the mature classical style for which he is renowned and O mio babbino caro – a poignant aria from Giacomo Puccini’s 1918 opera Gianni Schicchi.
For both concerts, it is advisable to pre-book tickets, however, unsold tickets are available at the door.
