[Albie van Schalkwyk, piano; Berthine van Schnoor, cello; Mokale Koapeng, composer]
We recently heard from our friend Mokale Koapeng, whose composition was presented by The Unisa (University of South Africa) Music Foundation on 31 May 2009: “Dear Bill, The performance was last month. It was a premiere of my cello and piano work called 'Rhythms in Chains'.” He sent this announcement:
“The Unisa Music Foundation presents a Cello and Piano Duo Recital by Berthine van Schoor (cello) & Albie van Schalkwyk (piano). SUNDAY 31 MAY at 16:00, Unisa Conference Hall, Sunnyside Campus.
“Two of South Africa’s most seasoned chamber musicians of international renown, cellist Berthine van Schoor and pianist Albie van Schalkwyk have performed as a duo in all the main music centres in South Africa and India. After obtaining her BMus Honours degree from the University of Stellenbosch, Berthine studied in Salzburg, Austria. Albie continued his piano studies in London after completing his BMus degree at the University of Cape Town with Lamar Crowson. They are teaming up again for a Cello and Piano Duo Recital in the historic Unisa Conference Hall this Sunday.
“The interesting programme consists of Mendelssohn’s Variations Concertantes opus 17 and his Sonata no 2 in D major opus 58, Haydn’s Adagio Cantabile and Beethoven’s Variations on 'Ueber Mannern welche liebe fuehlen'. A special feature of this recital is the inclusion of works by South African composers Blake, Koapeng and Ram.”
