LIVE CONCERTS!
LIVE CONCERT
Christopher Duigan plays music by Clementi, Schumann and Beethoven's Sonatas Op. 53 'Waldstein' and Op. 27 No. 1. The year 2020 is the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth in 1770! Many major festivals and concerts were planned for the year. For this 'live' concert Christopher Duigan plays Muzio Clementi's Sonata in F-sharp minor, a work that Beethoven admired. Robert Schumann intended the sale of copies of his Fantasie, Op.17 to support an appeal for funds to erect a monument to Beethoven in his birthplace, Bonn in 1836. Beethoven's 'Waldstein' Sonata is one of the composers's most optimistic compositions. Booking is essential as places are limited.

As you may have seen our livestream failed last Saturday evening. Apologies to those of you who were were ready and waiting (including those who dressed for the occasion)! Thank you for your patience.
We appear to have clarity on the issue which has been the cause of all the recent problems with our new studio set-up. All is pointing to inadequate processing power of my computer equipment at the centre of the entire operation!
Please continue to contribute if you are enjoying our livestream project. Your support enables us to continue working, to create and produce these livestream performances, and also to cover the considerable ongoing costs of staging these events. This includes the cost of suitable studio equipment, and now, new computer equipment too!
As I have spent two weeks researching and attempting to solve the mammoth production issues, my preparation has not been on the performances itself. I am rescheduling the programmes as follows:

(This was postponed from last Wednesday due to poor livestream quality)

A selection of concert classics. Music by Beethoven - Sonata Op 27 No 1, Chopin - Waltzes and a selection by Debussy complete the selection.

THIS WEEK'S FACT FOCUS
YOU MUSIC WATCH THIS!
One of several institutions offering live-streams on the web is the Chopin Institute in Poland. Performances are streamed from the museum house in which Chopin was born at Żelazowa Wola. Pianist Łukasz Krupiński played this concert Sunday 19 July and I was personally captivated by what I call 'the perfect balance': restraint, fluidity, poise but with brilliance and fire without ever being 'overbearing'. This is is how I think Chopin would have liked his music be played! Have a listen! IT IS JUST PERFECT!

THANK YOU
Thank you to all who have donated to support our MUSIC REVIVAL ONLINE project. A big thank you to Kevin Liddell of Big Beat productions for his support and sponsorship of the video and sound production over the last month. https://www.bigbeat.co.za/

Please do donate to sustain our project as we will now be needing to purchase our own audio-visual setup in order to continue the livestreams as you have come to enjoy them! It is now apparent that a livestream link will continue as part of our production setup even once 'real' concerts are once again feasible.
