Concert pianists play for charity

RENOWNED South African concert pianists Catherine Foxcroft and Tinus Botha, along with their Department of Music and Musicology piano students of 2010, will be giving a performance in aid of charity today at 7.30pm at the St Andrews Drill Hall.

RENOWNED South African concert pianists Catherine Foxcroft and Tinus Botha, along with their Department of Music and Musicology piano students of 2010, will be giving a performance in aid of charity today at 7.30pm at the St Andrews Drill Hall.

Foxcroft and Botha are widely regarded as two of the leading concert pianists in the country, and the audience is sure to be treated to a showcase of musical mastery when they play the duet Bach Siloti Prelude in G minor.

However, the focus of the evening will be to showcase the musical talents of their piano class. The students recently returned from the Stellenbosch International Piano Symposium, where they received daily master classes from a faculty comprising of South Africa’s leading pianists and lecturers.

All the students performed in the Stellenbosch Endler concert hall and will be airing their new repertoire at the concert.

Solo and duo works by Chopin, Grieg, Saint Saens, Rachmaninoff, Brahms, Schumann, Liszt and Ravel will be performed.

Botha, who has been supervising Foxcroft’s class while she is on sabbatical, says that it has been an immense privilege working with the students, and that the university is very lucky to have such a strong piano department.

“The students are exceptionally focused and hard working. It is unusual for such a  small department to have such a number of students who are able to participate in national events, and working with them over the past two terms has been an absolute joy.

The concert tonight is a great opportunity for the residents of Grahamstown to come and see them doing what they do best, while supporting an extremely worthy cause at the same time.”
