Baroque 2000’s new season concert opens this Sunday
Have you booked your tickets for the first concert of Baroque 2000's new season?
BAROQUE 2000’s new season begins this Sunday, 10 April at the usual venue, the Church of the Monastery in Mariannhill and features excerpts from Suites one and two of Handel’s celebrated Water Music.
Please note that the time is 11am and not as on the street posters.
Handel’s great work, for strings, oboes, trumpets, horns, bassoon and strings was first performed 299 years ago by musicians on a barge on the river Thames for King George the First who with his entourage was carried downstream alongside on his own boat.
Also on the programme are the same composer’s Concerto Grosso op 6 no 8, and Vivaldi’s Concerto ‘per molti instrumenti’, RV 574, a high spirited work scored for strings, oboes and horns.
Tickets are now R140, subscriptions for the eight concert season are available, offering reserved seats and queue-free entry. There is plenty of free and safe parking. Contact Michel on 082 303 5241 or e-mail: sursouth@iafrica.com
