Trio de Musique presents: “It Takes Three To Tango” – SuidOosterFees, Artscape 2019

Albert Combrink2019-04-29T16:08:54+02:00

Trio de Musique presented a Tango Programme at the 2019 SuidOosterFees. The programme included traditional tango favourites by Gardel and Piazzolla, to more serious classical tangos.

Audiiences were invited to consider the meanings of dance as a metaphor for relating to the world around us, and songs by Afrikaans artists and more well-known balads by Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand were given a Classical- and Tango makeover. A new tango by myself was also premiered at the Festival.

Albert Combrink2016-03-11T18:58:54+02:00

Hunkering na die ses…`n musikale reis is `n produksie vir stem en klavier wat uitgevoer word deur die talentvolle sopraan Lynelle Kenned en die veelsydige bariton Clint Lesch met begeleiding deur die formidabele pianis Albert Combrink.
Die inhoud bestaan hoofsaaklik uit werke vanuit musiekblyspele en resoneer sterk met die temas wat regdeur die geskiedenis van Distrik 6 kenmerkend was. Dit spreek kwessies soos slawerny, burgerlike identiteits krisis, rasse spanning, verbode liefde en versoening aan in komposisies soos “We Kiss in a Shadow” uit The King and I, [read more…]

Rossini’s “La Scala di Seta”: meet the players

Albert Combrink2009-06-08T20:59:35+02:00

I have been a repetiteur for many productions, from Operas to Musicals to Cabarets. But I have enjoyed few of them as much as this production conducted by Alex Fokkens and directed by Lara Bye. The story is delightfully funny and charming. A young couple are in love and already secretly married, and this becomes the engine that drives the farce. I think it is a real “Closet-Opera”: there is always at least one closet on the stage, with always at least one person hiding in [read more…]
