MUSIC AND THE SENSUALITY OF HARMONY (LECTURE-RECITAL)
Grant McLachlan, lecturer, South African College of Music, University of Cape Town
Wednesday 28 January 7.30 pm COURSE FEES R250; Staff and students R200
VENUE Baxter Theatre Concert Hall
In his lecture-performances at Summer School over the last few years, composer Grant McLachlan has earned a reputation for turning the conventional history of music on its head and encouraging audiences to experience concert-going in new and exciting ways, as will be done in this lecture-recital.
He will present an evening of music showing the seductiveness of harmony over the centuries. A small vocal ensemble of Cape Town’s finest singers will perform music from the Middle Ages to the Baroque period, and in the twentieth century from jazz to Debussy, Ravel and Poulenc. We discover how the adventurous harmonic experiments in the twentieth century were a pleasure to be savoured, and how harmony can evoke emotions and stimulate the senses more than any other human activity.
