Brooklyn Theatre 28 July

Gripper has cracked it… his playing has a depthless beauty, which does full justice to the complexity of Toumani’s compositions. To do so without any hint of the music being dumbed down is a staggering achievement on solo guitar.”

FROM Friday 31 July 19:30

The day before flying home to South Africa, a few days before the announcement of lockdown, Derek finished the sixteenth of his Australian concerts in Melbourne, presented by the Melbourne Guitar Society, playing a diverse programme of original compositions, J.S. Bach violin works, the Malian kora transcriptions for which he has become globally known, and a transcription by Arvo Part.

Performed in a beautiful hall and recorded and filmed by a local sound engineers and three cameramen, this concert is a great example of a musician in full flight after a sold out tour in ten cities. Derek returned to SA from these concerts to a quiet concert scene closed down by the pandemic. He immediately started to broadcast live from his living room in daily lesson streams and concerts for presenters around the world.
This concert concert has been specially edited for Brooklyn Theatre’s streaming service.

The chequered history of Salon Music and Brooklyn Theatre is an interesting story
which is featured every week, when Willem Vogel hosts his programme with highlights of performances by local and international artists.

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.
