Elegance, poise, charm, passion, and regal flair. This is what music lovers can look forward to in Romance and Royals<\/span>, the second concert of The Rhapsody Orchestra\u2019s concert season on 1 and 2 June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conductor Lance Phillip and The Rhapsody Orchestra will be joined by the local choir cantando@Bloem, under the leadership of Louis van der Watt, to perform two religious works by Handel, \u201cZadok the Priest\u201d and \u201cThe Dettingen Anthem\u201d. The former will be well-known to audience members as the anthem used for the coronation of every British monarch since its composition in 1727, including that of King Charles III in May 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast to the majesty of these works, Bruch\u2019s \u201cRomance for Violin and Orchestra in A Minor\u201d, with soloist Diandra Steenekamp, will captivate the listener with its emotional beauty, as will Mozart\u2019s elegant and bright \u201cSerenata Notturna\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program will conclude with the popular \u201cSymphony No. 88\u201d by Haydn. With its \u201cperpetual-motion finale,\u201d it is considered one of the composer\u2019s most cheerful symphonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something all the composers on the programme have in common, is that they were Germans who visited or lived in England and had a significant impact on the musical life there. Mozart performed for King George III, Haydn composed and conducted a series of symphonies for London, Bruch conducted the Liverpool Philharmonic Society for three years, and Handel was made Master of the King\u2019s Music, even becoming a naturalised citizen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In keeping with The Rhapsody Orchestra\u2019s vision of providing audiences with accessible yet high-quality classical music, this concert is suitable for audience members of all ages, including those who have never experienced a classical orchestral concert. We promise a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere for new and seasoned music lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme will take place on Saturday, 1 June at 19:00 at the Odeion at the University of the Free State main campus, and again on Sunday, 2 June at 16:00 at the same venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets cost R100 and children younger than 18 and pensioners older than 65 years pay R50. Tickets are available at the door or book on the WhatsApp number 073-651-2611.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
