Old Chapel Music Room

22/05/2026

Come spend Pentecost Sunday afternoon with us at the Old Chapel Music Room! Férrol-Jon Davids (on clarinet), Rosamund Roth (on cello), and Jan Hugo have put together a lovely chamber music programme, and Jan has chosen to perform it on our 1860s Broadwood piano.

Its warm, intimate sound is quite unique in South Africa, and we think it brings a special character to these pieces. It should be a beautiful way to end the day, and we'd love to have you with us.

​Die klavier se warm, intieme klank is uniek in Suid-Afrika en gee ’n besondere karakter aan dié stukke. Dit beloof om ’n heerlike afsluiting van die dag te wees, en ons sal dit geniet om u daar te sien.

The second evening concert of Neues Lied presents two of Olivier Messiaen’s soprano song cycles, Poèmes pour Mi and Chants de Terre et de Ciel. Inspired by his family life, his Catholic faith, and his love of nature, these works transport listeners into Messiaen’s vivid harmonic and emotional world – a world at once mystical, ecstatic, and deeply human.

Poèmes pour Mi is an extended lyrical hymn to his beloved first wife, Claire Delbos, while Chants de Terre et de Ciel celebrates the joy of parenthood following the birth of their son, Pascal. Rich in Messiaen’s signature colours, rhythmic inventiveness, and pianistic brilliance, the cycles explore the full expressive range of the human voice.

The concert features sopranos Clara Hugo and Siphamandla Moyake, alongside pianists Jan Hugo and Esthea Kruger.
