VIOLINIST, Joanna Frankel, formerly concertmaster of the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra, will appear with Baroque 2000 at a concert on 3 September at the Church of the Monastery, Mariannhill at 11.30am.
Frankel, now concertmaster of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra in Ohio, is soloist in Locatelli’s violin concerto op. 3 no. 12, known as the ‘Harmonic Labyrinth’. This title composer wrote below the start of a fiendishly difficult solo passage in the first movement, along with the words, ‘Easy to enter, difficult to escape’. There are two
other works by the same composer: the Concerto a 4 “Il pianto d’Arianna” Op7 No6 and his Introduzione op. 4 no1.
Also on the programme is Castrucci’s Concerto Grosso op. 3 no.6.
Tickets are R150 at the door, parking is safe and free, and the monastery tea garden will be open. Contact Michel on 082 303 5241 or sursouth@iafrica.com.
