GUY BUTTERY AND THE GQEBERHA QUARTET
With David Bester (violin), Jan-Hendrik Harley (viola), Lynn Daphne Rudolph (viola), Mariechen Meyer (double bass) and Guy Buttery (acoustic guitar, sitar, and mbira)
This recital creates an enhanced musical interaction between contemporary classical music and Guy Buttery’s distinctive compositional style. Composing and arranging these two forces has been the drive behind this project, which ultimately brought this dynamic collaboration with the Gqeberha Quartet to life. Each member of the quartet is treated as an independent musical voice, creating unique string textures, polyphonic melodic lines, and polyrhythms, rooted in Buttery’s adventurous yet accessible musical style.
Duration: 75 minutes
Date and time: Saturday 27 November at 10:00
Venue: Oudtshoorn Burgersentrum
Price: R100
BEAUTY IN VARIATION/VARIATION IN BEAUTY
With Nina Schumann (piano)
How does one describe a recital made up of a variety of beautiful pieces? For beauty is subjective and can take many forms. Added to that, the word “variation” suggests variety, yet the conventions of classical variation form were more of an inhibition than an inspiration. In this recital, the juxtaposition of works by four composers – Bach, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninoff and Medtner – serves to underscore not only the traditional variation form and its “recomposition”, but also the conversation that can be had between composers based on shared aesthetics.
Duration: 65 minutes

Die program sluit in: uittreksels uit Handel se Messiah en Corelli se Kersfees-concerto, soos in rondom 1780 deur Thomas Billington vir klawerbord getranskribeer, asook gewilde Kersgesange soos Isaac Watts se Joy to the World uit 1719, en O come, all ye faithful uit die mid-1700’s.

GUY BUTTERY EN DIE GQEBERHA-KWARTET
GUY BUTTERY EN DIE GQEBERHA-KWARTET
Met David Bester (viool), Jan-Hendrik Harley (altviool), Lynn Daphne Rudolph (altviool), Mariechen Meyer (kontrabas) en Guy Buttery (akoestiese kitaar, sitar en mbira)
Hierdie uitvoering versterk die musikale interaksie tussen kontemporêre klassieke musiek en Guy Buttery se kenmerkende komposisie-styl. Die samestelling en verwerking hiervan is die dryfveer vir dié projek, wat uiteindelik hierdie dinamiese samewerking met die Gqeberha-kwartet die lig laat sien het. Elke lid van die kwartet word as ’n unieke musikale stem hanteer, wat unieke stryk-teksture tot gevolg het, asook polifoniese melodielyne en poliritmes, gegrond in Buttery se avontuurlustige, dog toeganklike musikale styl.

SKOONHEID IN VARIASIE/VARIASIE IN SKOONHEID
SKOONHEID IN VARIASIE/VARIASIE IN SKOONHEID
Met Nina Schumann (klavier) Hoe beskryf ’n mens ’n uitvoering van verskeie pragtige werke? Want skoonheid is subjektief en kan baie vorme aanneem. Daarbenewens dui die woord “variasie” op verskeidenheid, maar die gebruik van klassieke variasievorm was ’n inperking eerder as inspirasie. In hierdie uitvoering dien die kombinasie van vier komponiste – Bach, Mendelssohn, Rachmaninoff en Medtner – se werke, nie net om die tradisionele variasievorm en die “herkomposisie” daarvan uit te lig nie, maar ook die gesprek tussen komponiste op grond van gedeelde estetika. Nina Schumann, een van Suid-Afrika se voorste pianiste, keer vir die eerste keer sedert 2021 terug na ’n verhoog in die Klein Karoo.
Tydsduur: 65 minute
