Joining Yolanda Maartens on OFM is world-renowned pianist Ida Pelliccioli who will be on stage at the Odeion in Bloemfontein on the 5th of March. Transcriptions reveal the musical thinking of a composer who is moved and inspired by the artistry of other composers, while recognizing that the musical substance of the underlying works is not static but capable of constant reworking and evolution. Ida explains why transcriptions are experiencing a bit of a renaissance and what the program will be at the Odeion. She also shares her love for South Africa and our wines. Tickets are available at Quicket.
