About This Event

WITH Esthea Kruger (piano), Shannon Thebus (French horn) and Louisa Theart (flute) Spanning two centuries of musical imagination, this captivating recital brings together a rich tapestry of chamber works by some of Europe’s most distinctive voices. From the classical elegance and lyrical warmth of Beethoven’s Sonata for Horn and Piano to the refined charm and emotional depth of Poulenc’s Sonata for Flute and Piano, the programme celebrates the expressive possibilities of chamber music. Charles Koechlin’s evocative Deux Nocturnes offers shimmering impressionistic colours, while Franz Doppler’s Souvenir de Rigi delights with Romantic lyricism and dazzling virtuosity inspired by the Swiss landscape. The recital concludes with Mélanie Bonis’s enchanting Scènes de la Forêt, a vivid musical journey through the mystery and beauty of the natural world. The recital is followed by a free music discussion with the artists upstairs in the Banqueting Hall.MET Esthea Kruger (klavier), Shannon Thebus (Franse horing) en Louisa Theart (fluit) Hierdie boeiende uitvoering strek oor twee eeue van musikale verbeelding en bring ’n ryk verskeidenheid kamermusiekwerke deur van Europa se meeskenmerkende komponiste byeen. Van die klassieke elegansie en liriese warmte van Beethoven se Sonate vir Franse horing en klavier tot die verfynde bekoring en emosionele diepgang van Poulenc se Sonate vir fluit en klavier, vier die program die uitdrukkingsmoontlikhede van kamermusiek. Charles Koechlin se stemmingsvolle Deux Nocturnes bied glinsterende impressionistiese kleure, terwyl Franz Doppler se Souvenir de Rigi genot verskaf met romantiese liriek en skitterende virtuositeit, geïnspireer deur die Switserse landskap. Die uitvoering sluit af met Mélanie Bonis se betowerende Scènes de la Forêt, ’n beeldryke musikale reis deur die misterie en skoonheid van die natuurlike wêreld. Die uitvoering word gevolg deur ’n gratis musiekgesprek met die kunstenaars bo in die Banketsaal.
