ABOUT

18 AUGUST 2022



Join the Linden Youth Choir in celebrating the life and work of the artist Dirk Meerkotter who would have been 100 this year. For the first time in more than a decade some of his Iconic works will be shown and the music will be combined with visuals and the actual art.

 

The Linden Youth Choir has an extensive repertoire of music. When they burst into song you can expect anything from Leonard Cohen’s Alleluya to the Gloria of Vivaldi. Favourites from well-known musicals such as Les Misérables, Afrikaans folk songs and ballads and even Bohemian Rhapsody are all regularly included in the concert programmes.

 

Exhibition curated by Gordon Froud and artworks will be on display from 18:00. The concert begins at 19:30. It is being held in the Cor Dirks Hall at Hoërskool Linden where the Meerkotter children were students.

 

A new, live work of art, will be created - capturing Meerkotter's view that sound was colour, thus allowing the viewer to see and hear the work.
