St. Lawrence Jewry Summer Music Festival: Pianists Tessa Uys and Ben Schoeman play Haydn and Van Wyk
The 2016 St. Lawrence Jewry Summer Music Festival in the City of London centres on the music of Joseph Haydn. Tessa Uys and Ben Schoeman are performing piano duet arrangements of selected Symphonies by Haydn at the Festival. They will also pay tribute to South African composer Arnold van Wyk (1916-1983), whose centenary is celebrated this year. The work of Van Wyk that will be performed is ‘Three Improvisations on Dutch Folk Melodies’ (Piano Four-Hands).
