Serendipity ( the godess of happy accidents of whom I am most fond), has bestowed upon us a gift in the form of:
FUROR MUSICA
Hailing from the Netherlands,this ensemble will be presenting a programme of Baroque music on authentic period instruments including the Harpsicord.
As you may know, Baroque music is enjoying a huge revival worldwide.
Lead by Antoinette Lohmann ( Violin), a Baroque specialist, the ensemble will also accompany South African Soprano Elsabe Richter.
For the Johannesburg leg of their South African tour FUROR MUSICA will be playing exclusively and for one night only, at Glenshiel.
The programme includes music by Vivaldi ( Spring and Summer Concerti from The Four Seasons), Handel ( two arias) and D. Gallo ( The Pulcinella Suite).
Kindly brought to you by The Dome Arts Retreat ( www.deelfontein.co.za ), The Unisa Music Foundation and The Rupert Music Foundation and I, your indefatigable host.
Here below, lie the fruits of Serendipity's bounty for your delight:
