ABOUT
The Johannesburg Chamber Music Collective is proud to present Gerrit Koorsen (cello), Aukse Trinkunas (mezzo-soprano) and Eugene Joubert (piano) performing songs by Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, and Rachmaninoff:
Mussorgsky: Songs and dances of death (Lullaby / Serenade / Trepak / Commander-in-chief)
Rachmaninoff: Oh, never sing to me again / Spring waters / How fair this spot
Tchaikovsky: None but the lonely heart / Whether the day reigns
Rachmaninoff: In the silent night / Before my window
Rachmaninoff: Sonata in G minor for Cello and Piano, Op. 19
Join us for a rare performance of this music that is at turns sublime, romantic, and macabre, but almost always emotionally charged.
