Sopranos sing for charity
Johanni van Oostrum and Eline Troskie started the Music Society's year on a high note!. It was an unbelievable privilege to listen to these two talented sisters.They were skillfully accompanied by Janny Lobbezoo from the Netherlands. Johani has for many years lived in the Netherlands but now works in Germany and Lienkie lives in Bloemfontein.
Die eerste gedeelte van die program het bestaan uit kunsliedere van Brahms, Verdi, Richard Strauss, asook 'n groep Afrikaanse liedere van Boerneef en S Le Roux Marais. Johani se emosionele vertolking van Heimwee het die hartsnare erg geroer.
After the interval arias from well known operas were performed as solos and duets.- The Marriage of van Figaro (Mozart), La Boheme (Puccini), Russalka (Dvorak) and The Masked Ball (Verdi). The two sisters gave a hauntingly beautiful recital of Pie Jesus (Andrew Lloyd Webber) Likewise, the Flower duet from Lakmé (Delibes), sang as an encore, had the audience spontaneously on their feet!!
Johanni, 'n dramatiese sopraan, met 'n vol ryk stem en Eline, 'n koloratuur-sopraan het besonder luister verleen aan die pragtige duette. Fyn vertolking, stembeheer en die kontraste tussen ligte en dramatiese styl is mooi afgewissel. Johani leef haar intens in elke lied in en haar toneelspel het beslis bygedra om elke lied iets besonders te maak en die gehoor totaal te betrek.
Dit was 'n uitsonderlike aand van gevoelvolle musiek en intense musikaliteit, Bravo aan Johani en Lienkie.
On Johani's request the concert was held for charity. The proceeds were donated to Jagersbosch Gemeenskapsorgsentrum and the Hartlief Class at Bertie Barnard Primary school. Many thanks to the two sisters for this generous gesture.

Community Educational Programme
The Music Society strives to promote music appreciation in the community - especially for youth and children. Learners from our local schools, the Melkhoutfontein and Bertie Barnard Primary Schools, are invited to attend the music performances free of charge. The artists are asked to give a short talk on and demonstrate their musical instruments.
