The College of the Arts (Cota) through the Namibian National Symphony Orchestra (NNSO) is pleased to present a new musical project, ‘German Classics Meet Namibia’ featuring the Musai Quartet from Germany, in which Namibian and German musicians will perform together as part of the German Weeks programme.
Under the capable hands of Alexander Fokkens, the programme features the Mozart Concertante in Eb major. Jürgen Kriess and Enrico Palascino will be the violin and viola soloists. Two young Namibians, Eike Coetzee and Ronaldo Kandume, take the German journey further by performing as soloists in the Beethoven Romance in F major. The final items of the programme bring the music back to Namibia, when Lyvodia #Ouses and Eslon Hindundu will perform Namibian songs with orchestral accompaniment.
The event will be staged through the sponsorship of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Namibia. Other sponsors are the German embassy in Namibia and Schenker Logistics, as well as private sponsors.
The concerts take place on Friday and Saturday, 22 and 23 September at 19h00 at the Dutch Reformed church, corner of Lüderitz and Daniel Munamava streets, opposite the old state house in Robert Mugabe Avenue.
Admission is free of charge, but donations are welcome.
