Launch of Concerts Connect

BR Concerts is proud to present Concerts Connect, a series of concerts which will be live-streamed in support of local music societies and concert series. With a strong focus on connectivity, Concerts Connect is a unique live-stream concert platform that aims to connect music societies with audiences and artists in these times of great disconnect.

With the possibility to connect audiences directly with music societies through customised ticketing and live-stream platforms, societies are able to continue presenting world-class performances to their existing patrons, but also offers the possibility to grow their audience base across geographic boundaries. In doing so, music societies and concert series are able to continue playing their vital role in the South African classical music scene.

Concerts Connect will kick-off with a series of three concerts featuring local pianists Nina Schumann and Luis Magalhães, as well as German violinist Alissa Margulis.

The first concert will be broadcast live from the Lourensford Estate Manor House on Sunday, 24 May at 16:00. Alissa Margulis (violin) and Luis Magalhaes (piano) will present a programme featuring the Beethoven Spring sonata and other works by Dvorak, Kreisler, Schumann, Brahms, Paradis and Saint-Saëns.

Nina Schumann will present an eclectic program of sketches by Bach, Haydn, Debussy and Rachmaninoff on Sunday, 14 June 2020 at 16:00.

The third concert will be presented on Sunday 5 July 2020 at 16:00. The piano duo TwoPianists will present a varied programme including Chopin’s Sonata No. 2.

Tickets are available on Quicket and can be bought in support of any of the partner societies or concert series.
