New Music Indaba 2013: The Riot of Spring

New Music Indaba 2013: The Riot of Spring

Date: 2013-10-04
UKZN Howard College campus, Durban: 10 - 13 October
In recognition of the 100th anniversary of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, the theme of this year's annual New Music Indaba, to be held at the UKZN Howard College campus from 10 - 13 October, is "The Riot of Spring".

The aims of the festival are to showcase South African composers and performers, encourage young performers through the institution of a cadet programme, and provide opportunities for developing composers to receive instruction and feedback on their work through master classes with leading South African composers. The festival will be curated and coordinated by Fiona Tozer.

This year the focus is on showcasing some of South Africa's many talented composers and performers. The festival's educational function extends to developing both young composers and performers. For young performers, a cadet scheme is to be instituted within the ensemble. For developing young composers, interactive composition workshops will be held.

Workshop participants will be invited to compose short pieces based on this theme to be discussed by the new ensemble in two interactive workshops. Additional workshops will also be offered.

The opening concert will be a piano duet of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring performed by Jill Richards and Michael Watt. Other concerts will include the premire performance of the South African New Music Ensemble, a second concert by sub-groups from the ensemble, and performances by DuoFourIVTwo, Into, and the KZN Youth Choir.

The NewMusicSA Annual General Meeting will be held during the festival, and all members are encouraged to attend.
