Cape Classic | Programme 2012

Music has many positive effects. It accompanies our moods and thoughts, gives us pleasure, engages and elevates our artistic sense and brings people together by allowing them to share a common experience that even transcends the boundaries of countries and continents. Music is capable of forging a firm bond of friendship that unites peoples and cultures.

One outstanding example is the Cape Classic festival. The festival is a bridgehead between Germany and South Africa, between the State of Bavaria and Western Cape Province. The festival’s concept and the intense commitment of the artists involved are also having a great impact on South African society. It gives young people an opportunity to experience classical European music and seeks to arouse their enthusiasm for this artistic form. The festival’s educational activities are the source of many positive impulses.

Western Cape Province and the State of Bavaria have been working very closely together for many years. I am very pleased that the Cape Classic festival provides an enchanting artistic accent to add to and intensify this partnership. It not only enriches cultural life at the Cape but is also a very special experience for the artists taking part, whose concerts and activities in the field of musical education lead to interesting encounters with an audience that is both curious and enthusiastic.

To the friends of classical European music and all those who would like to join them, I should like to extend a cordial welcome to the concerts and activities at Cape Classic 2012. I thank the artists for their commitment and I wish the festival every possible success.

Emilia Müller Bavarian State Minister for Federal and European Affairs

Since 2005, Cape Classic has been raising money for non-profit organizations and local trusts supporting social relief projects in the Cape regions by offering a set of excellent live concerts of classical music in South Africa each year. The proceeds of this initiative are being used to strengthen communities in South Africa and to help young and less privileged talents to develop.

Furthermore, Cape Classic promotes the cultural exchange between different parts of the world by giving German and other international musicians a chance to play in front of music lovers in the Cape region. The Western Cape has had a long and fruitful partnership with Bavaria in Germany. Last year, we celebrated 15 years of partnership during the “Bavaria meets Western Cape Expo” in Cape Town where Cape Classic had its own stand and 20 kids from Jamestown got the chance to show their talent singing the Bavarian anthem. Being a patron of the 2012 edition of the Cape Classic festivals together with my German colleague Ms Emilia Müller, the Bavarian State Minister for Federal and European Affairs, is yet another proof that artistic and cultural events allow to connect people from all over the world.

Playing and enjoying music together gives us the power to heal the wounds of the past and to celebrate the joy and prosperity the future presents. I therefore encourage the people of Cape Town and the Western Cape to take part in this wonderful event.

Dr Ivan MeyerProvincial Minister of Cultural Affairs, Sports and Recreation

Music is in the air of a warm and tranquil summer - nights with the stars of the African sky above you. The atmosphere is filled with the enchanting fragrance of blossoms and the sound of the classical concerts of Cape Classic! Welcome!

Cape Classic is not only a festival of chamber music for the ultimate benefit of South Africa’s underprivileged children; Cape Classic is also an important facet of the rich partnership between Bavaria and Western Cape. I am proud to present Emilia Müller, Minster of Federal and European Affairs and Ivan Meyer, Minister of Cultural Affairs, Sport and Recreation as the new patrons of this eighth Cape Classic. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the Bavarian Government and to the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany here in Cape Town, as well as to all other sponsors!

But now, relax and take your seat in one or another of our choice venues - elegant historic wine estates, romantic court yards, an amphitheatre or on the lawn of a picturesque garden with a breath-taking view of the mountains. What more does one need to feel the magic power of music and to be happy? Cape Classic of 2012 now invites you to share these magic moments in a festive round and to spoil yourself with a versatile wellness program. Cape Classic 2012 combines the beauty of nature, the fragrance of flowers, warm sunshine, the light breeze of a summer night, exquisite wines and cuisine and unforgettable chamber music at its best! Listen now to the most captivating of chamber music and enjoy A Feast for all Senses! Enjoy Cape Classic!

Education is the best provision for the journey to old age. (Aristotle)

There are many different ways to realise a better education for children. With the donation of funds raised by the ticket sales of our concerts, Cape Classic supports different social projects in the Western Cape. We believe that children are the future of each country and therefore we concentrate on the educa-tion of children. In funding worthy charitable projects, the proper education of children is Cape Classic’s highest priority.

For the last seven years, Cape Classic has sup-ported the Greater Stellenbosch Development Trust in various ways. Cape Classic transfers a monthly stop order to a private soup kitchen, has built an extension building with toilets, pro-vided school fees for sixteen orphans in 2011, bought sixty school uniforms and seconded the initiative of the James Sounds Project Arising out of this project, two pupils attracted such special attention because of their extraor-dinary talents, that Cape Classic took over the payment of their study fees at Stellenbosch University. Plans are still going ahead to build a children’s crèche in Rondomskrik (Swellendam) as there is no suitable facility available for this purpose at present.

However, education does not always entail only study. Education is also an experience.Cape Classic endeavours to encourage local communities to gain access to classical music, as we sincerely believe that such music is not

only life-enhancing but valuable. The Cape Classic workshops and its school concerts in Khayamandi, provide pupils with an oppor-tunity to explore different issues in creative ways. These opportunities offer a unique experience of getting to know strange and un-known instruments and of working together with European masters of classical music. This support for underprivileged children also has a transformative effect on them, which will surely have a lasting effect. We hope that our music will open the door to magical moments for all of them!

With all our benefit concerts of classical chamber music, the special events in Khaya-mandi and with our donations, Cape Classic supports the development of an exploring, enjoying and passionate new generation in Western Cape.

The undoubted leader of the brass section is the French horn. But when it made its first appearance, nobody used it indoors because it sounded too harsh. In France, the nobility used the horn during hunts and made up special codes to signal each other. It was even used by the night watch to call when there was trouble. Even though it is called the French horn, it started in Germany and was only later completed as we know it today, in France – and that is why its called a French horn. Some French horns are really two horns in one as they have two sets of tubing. The player switches between the two sets of coiled tubing by working a valve with his left thumb. One set of tubing gives a mellow, rich, deep tone. The other makes a higher, brighter sound. Once the French horn became part of the orchestra, its shape began to change. The tube got longer, the bell was made wider and

it now has crooks (slides) and valves. It is the only brass instrument with a funnel-shaped mouthpiece. If all of the tubing were uncoiled, it would measure over 6 metres long. There were two different kinds of horns mainly used in the 19th century, the natural horn and the double horn.

Great care has been taken to find extraordinary masterpieces of well-known and lesser-known composers for exceptional instrumental com-binations, like piano and horn, strings and horn and voice and horn. One of the clearest explorations to be found on the tone of the natural horn was written by Louis-François Dauprat, professor of horn at the Paris Con-servatory. His charming Quintet No. 1 for horn, viola and violoncello will be presented by Cape Classic in our Courtyard Serenade on the 16th February, 2012.

Mozart wrote four concertos for French horn, principally for the use of his friend, the horn player Ignaz Leutgeb. Two of these famous concertos, the outstanding Concerto No. 4 (15 February) and the heart-warming Concerto No. 1 (19 February), as well as the well-known ‘Romanze’ of his Concerto No. 3 (23 February) will certainly enchant our audiences. After a meeting in Paris in 1778 with Giovanni Punto, who was well-known as a composer and horn player at the time, Mozart wrote to his father: “Punto is magnifique!” The audience of Cape Classic can verify Mozart’s opinion on 17 February.

For us, it’s nearly unbelievable that in 1800 a reviewer of a concert in Pest, Hungary, could write: “Who is this Beethoven? I never heard this name! Of course Punto - he is well known!” In Vienna, Beethoven composed his Horn Sonata in F major in only two days for the virtuoso horn player Punto and with piano for the two of them. Although they had no time to practise this piece, they had to repeat it immediately on the premiere in Vienna and, still today, it remains as one of the finest compositions of chamber music for those two instruments! The lyric inventions and the mobility of the horn using all technical possibilities enthuses audiences at all times and can be admired at our concert ‘Established’ on 24 February.

A contemporary and lifelong friend of Beethoven and Haydn, Anton Reicha is now best remembered for his substantial early contribution to the wind quintette literature and his role as a teacher - his pupils included Franz Liszt and Hector Berlioz. At ‘Under the Stars’ (22 February) the Cape Classic audience has the unique chance to listen to one of those quintets, about which Reicha himself went on to say: “Encouraged by the success of this performance, I wrote eighteen more, bringing the number to twenty-four. They created a sensation throughout Europe!” It’s plain that this was not merely a passing sensation - to the present day and into the next century wind quintet players will be playing the music of Reicha.

Whilst Franz Anton Hoffmeister is best known for his activities as a music publisher of many prominent Viennese composers of the era (including Beethoven, Haydn and Mozart), in the early 1780’s he was one of Vienna’s most popular composers in his own right. To try and summarise Hoffmeister’s contribution to 18/19th century compositions, it may be said that they are all well-crafted but only rarely to be heard. They are certainly well worth listening to! (24 February). Some of his works approach the ambiance of Haydn and Mozart in their lighter moods and, for this reason alone, Hoffmeister deserves to sit near the front of all other famous composers of his time. The French horn is a magnificent instrument with a noble and rich sound. Dip into the universal of its sonorous chimes and velvety tones, glory in every concert at this year’s Cape Classic!

Educate! Inspire! Connect!Cape Classic’s motto.

We support the EDUCATION of underprivileged but deserving children of the Western Cape.Every year, at the handing over of the Cape Classic donations, the performances of these children INSPIRE us.

In this way, these children and Cape Classic are strongly LINKED!

For example in 2011, Cape Classic assumed responsibility for the study fees of Alexander Kirk-wood and Peter John Hartnick at the Conservatory at Stellen-bosch University. (See picture)

With the purchase of one ticket...

...you indulge yourself in an unforgettable evening of world-class music, enjoyed in the extraordinary atmosphere of each carefully selected venue.

...you support the cultural exchange between two continents

...you make a donation to charity, as the funds raised by each ticket’s sale go directly to a charitable project.

Enthusiasm for South Africa and a love for classical music have always been the main motivations for Gabi Zahn’s vision of Cape Classic, a festival which supports charitable projects of the Cape region through “The Magic of Music”. In the eighties, Gabi Zahn lived in South Africa with her husband and her four children for four years. Subsequently, in Germany where she now lives, she worked as a journalist specialising in cultural affairs, mainly classical music, where she wrote reviews of concerts and interviewed famous artists. Currently, she is spending all her time on the organisation of the annual Cape Classic.
