Master Class, Swellendam High School

Who would have thought that a piano master class could be held in this small but historic and beautiful town in the Western Cape Province of South Africa? But this is what is going to happen at the Swellendam High School on 10th September 2010. The students who are preparing to take the UNISA Grade VIII piano exam will be playing a range of interesting pieces from Bach to Shostakovitch and I shall be there to help them improve their performances primarily from the point of view of musicality and interpretation, also suggesting adjustments in technique where necessary. To be in a position to nurture musical talent is very exciting and a great privilege. The event will be open to the public.
