As we continue to celebrate the Stellenbosch University Centennial we are keenly aware of the legacy that individuals and communities create for future generations. As part of the 2019 US Woordfees and in Season 1 of the Endler Concert Series, we celebrated the legacy of legendary soprano Nellie du Toit and flute doyenne, Éva Tamássy who were both gifted mentors to many of our students. We also celebrated the 10th anniversary of the SU Jazz Band and the 20th anniversary of the Music Department’s Certificate Programme and in so doing, marked the milestones of two initiatives which, above and beyond their academic and artistic merit, have contributed greatly in the past decades to the transformation and rejuvenation of the Music Department at large. In concerts we are keenly aware of the legacy of great composers and musicians whose art continues to inspire us and meets our collective deep abiding passion and need for art – be this as artist, as academic, or as audience. What a privilege to be a part of this legacy!
As we reflect on the past year of the Endler Concert Series, we celebrate the many exceptional artists both local and from around the world that have performed on the Endler stage, soloists: Olga Kern, Megan-Geoffrey Prins, Francois du Toit, Albie van Schalkwyk, Luis Magalhães, Nina Schumann, Bryan Wallick, José Dias, Pieter Grobler, Christopher Duigan (piano); Pieter Schoeman, Suzanne Martens (violin); Alexander Ramm, Peter Martens, Anmari van der Westhuizen (cello); David Salleras (saxophone); Lazslo Kuti (clarinet); Mario Nell, Winand Grundling (organ); Lauren Dasappa (soprano); Jolene McCleland (mezzo soprano); Tutu Puoane, Anneli Kamfer, Natalie Rungan, Amanda Tiffin (jazz singers); and rising South African stars: Emilio Lorenzo, Dylan Tabisher, Cherilee Adams (marimba & percussion). Our Music Department students have excelled in the various ensemble performances of the SU Chamber Choir, Schola Cantorum, SU Symphony Orchestra, SU Symphonic Wind Ensemble, SU Jazz Band, and the SU Camerata. Our student composers have showcased their creativity and innovation in the KOMPOS concerts. We have also been fortunate to host international touring choirs: Lund University Choir from Sweden and the Cologne Cathedral Girls Choir from Germany as well as our own local choirs: Stellenbosch University Choir, Canticum Novum and the Libertas Choir. Our Lunch Hour Series of free concerts has hosted over 40 concerts involving our own student performances as well as visiting artists.
Our students have been fortunate to receive masterclasses from international artists and pedagogues: Andrea Katzel, Bo Rosenkull (voice), Olga Kern (piano), David Salleras (saxophone), Lazslo Kuti (clarinet), Gary Hoffman (cello), Cecilia Martin-Löf, Patrik Andersson, Oliver Sperling (choral conducting), and Raphael Pouget (natural trumpet).
Without the support of those who share our love for music, our commitment to excellence, innovation and community engagement, and to supporting the growth of young South African musicians, the Endler Concert Series would be hard-pressed to achieve its mission. We extend our grateful thanks to the many individuals, subscribers and entities who offer financial support and gifts-in-kind.

On behalf of the Music Department of Stellenbosch University and the Endler Concert Series, I wish you a blessed Festive Season and a prosperous and happy New Year!
Deur ons voortgesette viering van die Universiteit se eeufees is ons steeds bewus van die erfenis wat deur sowel individue as gemeenskappe vir toekomstige geslagte gegenereer word. Tydens die Woordfees en in die eerste seisoen van die Endler Konsertreeks het ons hulde gebring aan Nellie du Toit en ook aan Eva Tamassy, twee gevierde kunstenaars en ook toegewyde mentors aan baie van ons studente. Vanjaar is ook die 10de jaar van die US Jazz-orkes, en die 20ste verjaardag van die Musiekdepartement se Sertifikaatprogram. Hierdie is twee mylpale wat, benewens die akademiese en artistieke meriete, gedurende die afgelope twee dekades bygedra het tot die gees van transformasie en vernuwing van die Musiekdepartement. In ons konsertpraktyk is ons sterk bewus van die nalatenskap van komponiste en ander kunstenaars wat steeds inspirerend werk, en ons kollektiewe passie en behoefte aan musikale kuns ondersteun – hetsy as kunstenaar, akademikus, of as gehoor. Wat ‘n vooreg om deel te wees van hierdie erfenis!
Wanneer ons terugdink aan die afgelope jaar van die Endler Konsertreeks, vier ons die talle uitmuntende plaaslike en internasionale kunstenaars wat op die Endler verhoog opgetree het vanoor die wêreld heen, soloiste: Olga Kern, Megan-Geoffrey Prins, Francois du Toit, Albie van Schalkwyk, Luis Magalhães, Nina Schumann, Bryan Wallick, José Dias, Pieter Grobler, Christopher Duigan (klavier); Pieter Schoeman, Suzanne Martens (viool); Alexander Ramm, Peter Martens, Anmari van der Westhuizen (tjello); David Salleras (saksofoon); Lazslo Kuti (klarinet); Mario Nell, Winand Grundling (orrel); Lauren Dasappa (sopraan); Jolene McCleland (mezzo-sopraan); Tutu Puoane, Anneli Kamfer, Natalie Rungan, Amanda Tiffin (jazz sangers); en Suid Afrikaanse Rising Stars: Emilio Lorenzo, Dylan Tabisher, Cherilee Adams (marimba & perkussie). Soos te wagte, het ons musiekstudente uitgeblink in die vele ensemble-optredes van die US Kamerkoor, Schola Cantorum, US Simfonieorkes, US Simfoniese Blaasorkes, US Jazzorkes en die US Camerata. Ons studentekomponiste het hul kreatiwiteit en vernuwing tentoongestel tydens die KOMPOS-konserte. Verder was ons bevoorreg om internasionale kore wat op toer was, hier te ontvang onder andere Lund Universiteitskoor van Swede en die Keulense Katedraal se Meisieskoor van Duitsland. Ons ander plaaslike kore, die Universiteit Stellenbosch Koor, Canticum Novum asook die Libertas-koor, het voor vol gehore opgetree. Ons het meer as 40 gratis Etensuurkonserte aangebied, met ons eie studente asook besoekende kunstenaars en ensembles.
Ons studente was baie bevoorreg om meesterklasse te ontvang van internasionale kunstenaars en opvoeders: Andrea Katzel, Bo Rosenkull (sang), Olga Kern (klavier), David Salleras (saksofoon), Lazslo Kuti (klarinet), Gary Hoffman (tjello), Cecilia Martin-Löf, Patrik Andersson, Oliver Sperling (koordirigeerkuns), en Raphael Pouget (trompet).
Sonder die ondersteuning van almal wat deel in ons liefde vir musiek, ons strewe na hoë artistieke standaarde asook ons soeke om terselfdertyd innoverend te wees, sou die Endler Konsertreeks nie hierdie jaar sulke hoogtes bereik het nie. Ons opregte dank aan al die konsertgangers, besighede en entiteite vir julle finansiële ondersteuning en vrygewige venootskappe.
’n Spesiale woord van dank aan die volgende Beskermhere en Donateurs:
Solo (R200 000 en meer)
Die Rupert Musiekstigting
Kwartet (R25 000 – R49 999)

US Musiekdepartement fasiliteite
Die konserte sou ook nie moontlik wees sonder die ondersteuning van ons Musiekdepartement personeel wat agter die skerms werk nie. In besonder wil ek die volgende bedank: Brent Reynolds (Ensemble en Produksie Bestuurder), Nicky Fransman (Fasiliteitsbestuurder), Mari-Louise du Plessis (Finansiële beampte), Philip Vermeulen en Marthenus Cloete (Konsert-assistente).
In 2020 begin ons met die US Woordfees (6-15 Maart) met meer as 30 Klassieke konserte om van te kies. Namens die Universiteit Stellenbosch se Musiekdepartement en die Endler Konsertreeks, wens ons u ’n Geseënde Kersfees en ‘n voorspoedige Nuwejaar toe!
