THE next Baroque 2000 concert is on Sunday, 7 October at 3pm at St Mary’s Anglican Church in Greyville.
A founder member (double bass) of the Ensemble back in 1998, Simon Milliken, was brutally murdered recently at his home in Burman Bush and the concert will be dedicated to Simon’s memory.
The concert programme is entitled: Nature and Birds and will include the Church’s Bell-Ringers, a group of which Simon was an active member.

It will be followed by the moving Carillon des Morts by Michel Corrette. Evelien Ballantine will be the solo flautist of Vivaldi’s concerto Il Gardellino (the goldfinch) and the ensemble’s concert master (Ralitza Macheva – violin) will perform the Spring concerto from the Four Seasons by the same composer.
She will also perform the moving Les Pleurs by Marin Marais. Elsabé Richter (soprano from Cape Town) will join the programme with her glorious voice and perform the beautiful and acrobatic Sweet Bird Aria from GF Handel as well as Pourquoy Doux Rossignols by De Bousset. The famous Les Elemens by JF Rebel will take the audience on an epic journey through earth, fire, wind, water, lighting and storms, featuring flutes, oboes, bassoon and some percussion.
Tickets are R150 at the door. There is ample parking around the church and car guards will be on site.
