Zanta Hofmeyr and Elna van der Merwe present this special recital featuring works for violin and piano by three French Composers: Debussy, Poulenc and Saint-Saëns. The concert also serves as a launch for the CD recording of this programme which was recorded in the Endler hall – renowned for its excellent acoustics, by the equally well-known sound engineer, Gerhard Roux in whose capable hands many artists put their trust for the recording process.

The works by these French composers are extremely well-suited for the two instruments and they capture a whole array of styles and timbres. The composers lifetimes span from 1835 to 1963 and consequently their compositional styles represent an array of characteristics from the romantic -, impressionist – and post-impressionist periods. Audiences across South Africa have expressed surprise and delight during the past year of Zanta and Elna’s performances of these works. This is an opportunity not to be missed for classical music lovers in the Winelands.
