SUMMARY:YOUTH CLASSICAL CONCERT
DESCRIPTION:Ten extraordinarily talented classical music instrumentalists\, singers and a saxophone quartet will showcase their prowess at this year’s 52nd Youth Classical Concert. On stage on Saturday 2 September 2023\, in the Artscape Theatre at 19.00 this prestigious annual event\, offers accomplished young musicians the opportunity of playing with a symphony orchestra on a professional concert stage. \nRanging from as young as 15 years of age to 21\, they will perform works by Chaminade\, Saint-Saëns\, Vivaldi\, Prokofiev\, Crusell\, Verdi\, Ravel and Bill Holcombe. Much of the biggest repertoire and most exciting to listen to and perform is in the concerto field (instrument with orchestra) and opera field (voice and orchestra). The appeal of the works presented\, as well as good variety in the overall programme content\, played an important part in the final selection of these musicians. \nThe successful musicians who auditioned this year for the opportunity to perform with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO) include Esihle Mthethwa (18) on Flute\, Kyrah Adams (17) Marimba\, Daniel Hutton (18) Clarinet\, Bayanda Mthetho (20) and Christof Joubert(21) on Piano. Gilah Kellner (19) and Emma Steenkamp (16) play the violin\, Vocalists are Tenor Jason September (21)\, Sopranos Chloe Loggenberg (19)and Sasha Damons (21). TheHugo Lambrechts Saxophone Quartet members are – Keon Müller (19) on Soprano Saxophone\, James Cilliers (16) on alto\, Kian Goliath (15) on tenor and Michael de Goede (17) on baritone. \nThe emphasis of the Concert\, produced by Artscape and the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO)is a celebration of young musical talent and not a competition. \nJacobus de Jager will be conducting the orchestra and in preparation for the concert\, the musicians will receive individual\, comprehensive sessions with him and the CPO. In 2017 Kobus was a soloist on piano at the 46th annual event and is the most recent winner of the South African Conductors’ Competition. He was one of the eight semi-finalists of the 2023 Herbert von Karajan Young Conductor’s Award in Salzburg and resident conductor of the Stellenbosch University Symphony Orchestra in 2021 and 2022. He has conducted ensembles for the COPO as well as for other orchestras in South Africa and continues his conducting studies in September. \nThe musicians are currently studying at the SA College of Music at the University of Cape Town\, Stellenbosch University\, Hugo Lambrechts Music Centre and with distinguished music teachers – Liam Burden\, Arisa Voges\, Dr Liesl Stoltz\, Alex Laing\, Prof Luis Magalhaes and Prof Nina Schumann. \nDuration of the Concert is 90 minutes including a 30-minute interval. Ticket prices: Adults R100\, Students\, Scholars and Pensioners R50.  Block bookings of 10 or more less 10 %.  Book through Computicket\, Artscape Dial-a-Seat 021 421 7695 or purchase your seats via Artscape website www.artscape.co.za \nFine MusicRadio will be recording the Concert for broadcast on 17 September between 14.00 & 16.00. \nSaysArtscape CEO Marlene le Roux: ‘Youth development forms an integral part of the cultural institution’s ethos towards building a sustainable performing arts industry. We value the Associated Companies’ dedication and support in these ventures\, in this instance the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra\, who have steadfastly partnered with us since the inception of this prestigious Youth Classical annual highlight that proffers a steppingstone towards a sustainable professional career locally and abroad. I am always in awe of these young talented musicians who remain dedicated to their profession as well as continue their education in their respective disciplines. We are honoured that they will soon grace our stage to the delight of patrons as well as inspire and act as role models to their peers to follow their dreams”. \nSays Chief Executive & Artistic Director of the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra Louis Heyneman: “Another year has yielded another amazing group of musicians\, poised on the cusp of a career and the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra is proud to be associated with them.  Some are known to us through our own Youth Orchestra\, which is the flagship of our vast youth development programme. Since our inception in 2000\, we have made education a key goal\, beginning with the Masidlale grassroots training project and ending where quite a few have ended – on the platform with South Africa’s orchestras\, having been successful in auditions to claim their rightful positions.  This annual collaboration with Artscape does much to help us achieve that goal\, for performing\, in public and for the first time\, with a full professional symphony orchestra is one of the most exciting events in a young musician’s life and leaves them with a sense of pride and achievement. We are so happy to be part of their journey and wish them all a great future”.
