Ons derde konsert vind op Saterdag, 22 Mei 2010 om 19h30 in die NG Kerk plaas. Vanjaar het ons die voorreg om die vermaarde orrelis, Christiaan Carstens te ontvang.
CHRISTIAAN CARSTENS studied at the Universities of Stellenbosch, Port Elizabeth and South Africa where he obtained the degrees B.Mus. (Hons.) in Piano Performance, M. Mus. in Organ Performance, as well as Teachers’ and Performers’ Licentiates – all with distinction. In 1994 he participated in the Haarlem International Organ Academy in the Netherlands where he received tuition from internationally known organ pedagogues. During 1995-1996 Carstens furthered his music studies with prof. Jan Raas at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Utrecht, the Netherlands, where he also gave highly acclaimed recitals.
Back in South Africa he received the Unisa Concert Diploma – the first candidate to do so. Christiaan Carstens performed with the Eastern Cape Philharmonic Orchestra on various occasions. He is organist of the DRC Humansdorp and teaches Music and History at the Nico Malan High School, Humansdorp.
Ons vertrou dat u almal na hierdie vermaarde orrelis se uitvoering sal kom luister. Orrelmusiek het immers ’n majestieuse dimensie wat ons nie andersinds in Stilbaai kan geniet nie.
Ons eerste konsert van die jaar sou op 18 Maart 2010 gewees het. Die pianis, Lisa Joubert, sou die geadverteerde program aangebied het. Drie dae voor die optrede het die bestuur, soos gebruiklik, gebel om die finale reëlings te bevestig. Op daardie stadium is ons in kennis gestel dat die optrede gekanselleer is. Toe is daar reeds oor die R500 se onkoste aangegaan.
Die bestuur teken by die lede apologie aan vir enige ongerief verduur.
Membership fees.
Members are reminded that membership fees are long overdue. Dues may be paid into the SMS bank account directly. Please contact a comittee member for banking details. Thanks to all the members whose fees have already been paid. It is highly appreciated and is essential to maintain the high quality of artists we continually try to draw to Stilbaai.
We are keen to recruit new members. Should you meet anyone who has a love for music, please encourage them to join. If furthermore, anybody shows the inclination to join the Committee, please inform us directly. We are of course also looking for younger people who can become involved in the management of the affairs of the SMS. Being a bunch of senior citizens, we are concerned about the future of the Society. By younger, we mean anything under seventy! Please don’t be shy. If you are prepared to take on a little work on a regular basis, please come forward.
