SUMMARY:Mrs Philarmonica – a South African Premiere  (2025 Cape Town Baroque Festival - EVENT 4)
DESCRIPTION:The Cape Town Baroque Trio presents a programme of music by the early 18th-century English female composer Mrs Philarmonica\, whose actual identity remains unknown up to this day. There are only two extant collections of music composed by her\, both published under the pseudonym ‘Mrs Philarmonica’. In this programme\, compiled by Annien Shaw and consisting of trio sonatas by the ever-elusive Mrs Philarmonica\, we celebrate female composers of the Baroque and bring to light the work of a composer of very expressive and complex music who had been forgotten by history for a long time. \nThis concert will be presented at\, and in collaboration with\, the Irma Stern Museum on the University of Cape Town campus\, thereby emphasising the important contribution\, from the 18th to the 20th century\, of female artists and composers. The Cape Town Baroque Trio consists of three Cape Town Baroque Orchestra section leaders\, namely Annien Shaw (baroque violin)\, Ralitza Macheva (baroque violin) and Rosamund Roth (baroque cello)\, who specialise in playing chamber music from the Baroque on period instruments. They will be joined by Erik Dippenaar (spinet). \nDate: Saturday\, 27 September\nTime: 11:00-12:00\nVenue: UCT Irma Stern Museum\, Rosebank\nTickets: R250 (regular)\, R220 (pensioners)\, R100 (learners/students). Book fast – this is an intimate concert\, with only 40 tickets available! \nEnquiries can be directed to info@ctbaroque.co.za. \nBOOK HERE\n*** \nThis is Event 4 in our 2025 Cape Town Baroque Festival.

SUMMARY:BAROQUE KEYS (Event 2 - 2026 Summer Baroque Season) - Cape Town Concert Series collaboration
DESCRIPTION:During 2026\, the Cape Town Concert Series presents a season of concerts focused around its Steinway Grand Piano\, which turns 65 this year and is considered one of the finest recital pianos in the country. \nTo set the scene for this piano-focused season of concerts\, the Cape Town Baroque Orchestra’s Artistic Director\, Erik Dippenaar\, presents a solo recital that takes the audience on a journey through the history of the keyboard instruments that existed before the piano. Dippenaar will play several early keyboard instruments\, including harpsichords in two different styles\, an octave spinetto and a copy of a 16th-century regal. The repertoire ranges from the 1560s until the 1770s\, including popular harpsichord works such as Handel’s Harmonious Blacksmith variations and Couperin’s Les Barricades Mystérieuses\, but also lesser-known pieces that show off the variety of textures and colours of early keyboard instruments.
