Opus Fantasia presents a new and exciting concert with vocalist Linelle Engelbrecht, clarinettist Naledi Dweba and pianist Annika Burke. The Trio performs the selected romantic pieces with mastery and displays virtuosic technique. The poetic images inspire the musical language, while the music illuminates and intensifies the emotional expression of the words. The Trio assumes a significant role in painting a tonal picture of the scene, story, object or emotional mood depicted in the text. To fully grasp the beauty and inventiveness of this programme, the musicians in Opus Fantasia Trio are adhesive to the words and integrate the voice, clarinet and piano parts as a whole.\u00a0
Extensive obligato clarinet solos feature numerous vocal works written during the late 18th and 19th centuries, including operatic arias, concert songs, sacred works and cantatas. Many are a significant part of the clarinet repertoire. The programme is centred around the outstanding music of Franz Shubert, Der Hirt auf dem Felsen (Shepherd on the Rock), written in 1826. Songs with clarinet and piano by F.W Kuchen, Der Himmel hat eine trane geweint (Heaven cried a tear), written in 1854, will be heard. The 2nd movement is by Giocoso Meyerbeer, titled Hirtenlied (Shepherd song), written in 1816, and the last song is by Andreas Sp\u00e4th, Alpenlied, the (Alpine song) written in 1840. As an interlude, we present the clarinet Carmen Fantasy by George Bizet, and we conclude the concert with the Mahler (Heavenly life), 4th movement from Symphony no 4 arranged by Arnon Zimra for Trio, soprano, clarinet, and voice. It is a pleasure to perform this selected repertoire as it showcases craftsmanship in clarinet and the voice and sensitivity on the piano.<\/summary>\n
