Brooklyn Theatre 5 August

EXSULTATE JUBILATE - MOZART
Ilze Coetzee (soprano) & Marnus Greyling (organ)
St George's Anglican Church Parktown
– Rieger Pipe organ

The magnificent Rieger organ, in this intimate stone church, nestled in the heart of the green suburb of Parktown, Johannesburg, was a serious draw-card to record this beautiful selection of music for organ and soprano.

FULL CONCERT available from 7 August 19:30 on the website www.brooklyntheatre.tv

The Rieger organ was donated by Nicky and Strilli Oppenheimer and was installed in 2012. The 33 registers are subdivided into 10 stops in the Great, 15 in the Swell and 8 stops in the pedal. The Musical Director of St, George’s – Marnus Greyling, a brilliant young Cambridge music graduate, performs a selection of works, to show this instrument off to the best of its ability.

Marnus is joined by Ilze Coetzee for the main work on the programme, namely the Exsultate Jubilate (Mozart), which ends with the famous Allelujah aria. As coloratura of note, Ilze has sung the leading operatic roles for Brooklyn Theatre over the past 10 years. These include, among others, the Queen of the Night, Lucia di Lammermoor, Norma, Gilda in Rigoletto , Rosalinde & Adele in Fledermaus.

Brooklyn Theatre TV thanks St George’s for the use of the venue and instrument for this special concert.

For this week’s Willem’s Choice, I will chat a little about my own years at the Drakensberg Boys Choir and feature 3 boys, who went on to achieve great fame as international opera stars, in later life.

We will take a peep at the all French musical, Sarvil, from Paris, that was presented at Brooklyn Theatre.

Also on the programme is some breathtaking Schubert performed by the brilliant Austrian / Korean pianist, Philippe Richardsen.

Herewith an official announcement:

The Salon Music CD & DVD shop will be closing 28 August. Exciting specials are now available on selected products.

The main reason for this is that, due to Covid, international flights are limited and imported products are not being delivered.
Thefore we cannot take orders and deliver a service.

A LARGE BATCH OF 2ND HAND CD'S ON SPECIAL!

The Salon Music CD’s are being taken off iTunes and CD Baby during August and will be available on our own website, to be downloaded or streamed.

Salon Music is currently in negotiation with SA classical musicians to add their recordings on our site.

Due to all business going digital, Salon Music has decided to assist our customer base with guidelines to purchase products online.

The new and improved website will be launched on the 1 August.

Dear Friends in Music

The Brooklyn Theatre Directorate will be at the Salon Music shop 09:00 - 12:00 from Mondays to Saturdays. We miss our friends of the theatre, our artists and our concerts.

The shop will be open.
