Christopher Duigan in concert
in Ballito and Kloof.
All Souls Anglican Church, Ballito: Sunday 4 Aug at 3pm
St Agnes Church, Kloof: Tues 6 Aug at 7pm
Touring again after some time out, is much loved Pietermaritzburg-based classical pianist, Christopher Duigan who will be coming to Ballito on Sunday 4 July at 3pm to perform a programme of mid-winter classics at the All Souls Anglican Church in Umhlali / Salt Rock; which will be repeated in St Agnes in Kloof on Tuesday 6 August at 7pm.
He will be playing a selection of music with a relaxed and enchanting lyricism – like an afternoon in the winter sunshine. With gentle undulation and extended, reassuring lines this programme is guaranteed to please and soothe! Beethoven’s Sonata Op. 26, a work of compelling Schubertian qualities, Chopin – Nocturne Op. 62 and Impromptu No. 1, and a selection from Schubert’s Impromptus Op. 90 make up the selection.
Widely regarded as one of South Africa’s leading concert pianists, Christopher Duigan has been recognized as a ‘South African piano icon’ and ‘national musical treasure’ (Classic Feel June 2009). He has been featured as soloist, performing extensively with all leading South African orchestras, in over 100 concert performances, in a repertoire of more than 25 works for piano and orchestra. Through public recitals, he has developed a popular following through his innovative presentation and programming of a broad and eclectic taste in music.
Starting in a response to Covid isolation, Chris performed in more than 250 live online “live-streamed” performances reaching an entirely new global and local audience.
Christopher Duigan has developed large following in South Africa through the broadcast of his recordings which are frequently aired on Classic FM (Johannesburg) and Fine Music Radio (Cape Town). His ongoing Music Revival project has brought live classical performances, in hundreds of concerts, to new audiences across KZN and in the Cape Winelands.
His recordings of the classical repertoire, in addition to his own compositions with Spanish saxophonist Davd Salleras are available on all major streaming platforms.
