SUMMARY:VARIATIONS (Event 1 - 2025 Summer Baroque Season)
DESCRIPTION:BACK DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND! \nThese two performances are repeats of our award-winning and previously sold-out Variations programme. A popular genre during the baroque period was so-called ‘sets of variations’ or ‘divisions’: Composers often wrote variations and embellishments on songs\, folk melodies or hymns. Members of the Cape Town Baroque Orchestra\, Ralitza Macheva (baroque violin)\, Erik Dippenaar (harpsichord) and Lynelle Kenned (soprano) present a programme of expressive sets of variations from the baroque\, including music by Corelli\, Caccini\, Byrd\, Philips and Handel. The programme also includes newly composed sets of variations for solo violin by Montreal-based composer and early music specialist Matthias Maute\, as well as a piece by South African composer Arthur Feder. \nThis programme was recently awarded a kykNET Fiësta Award for best classical music production at an arts festival in South Africa in 2023\, and was performed to great acclaim at the 2024 Montreal Baroque Music Festival in Canada. \nTwo performances will be held on 1 February\, at 11:00-12:00 and 13:00-14:00 respectively\, to accommodate more concertgoers. The performances will take place at the intimate and atmospheric Weltevreden chapel\, originally a farmhouse dating from 1790 that was restored by local harpsichord maker William Selway (Bill) Robson. Only 40 tickets per performance available. \nWith: Lynelle Kenned (soprano)\, Ralitza Macheva (baroque violin) and Erik Dippenaar (harpsichord) \nPlease join us for a complimentary glass of wine after each concert. \nBOOK HERE\n*** \nThis is Event 1 in our 2025 Summer Baroque Season.
