CHRISTOPHER DUIGAN (piano) LIVE IN CONCERT - HILTON ARTS FESTIVAL 2022

ABOUT

International acclaimed concert pianist, and a popular favourite at the Hilton Festival, Christopher Duigan plays a superb programme of turbulent and dramatic classical piano music in the Hilton College Chapel. Included are Ludwig van Beethoven’s popular 'Pathétique’ Sonata Op. 13 and Liszt's ‘Dante’ Sonata.  A composition with the most dramatic music, the 'Dante' Sonata, inspired by Dante's 'Divine Comedy’, together with 'Sposalizio', and 'Sonetto 104 del Petrarca’ which Duigan includes, form part of the composer's most sublime and compelling music from ‘The Years of Pilgrimage: Italy’.

Pre-lockdown, Christopher Duigan was one of South Africa's busiest concert artists. His performances ranged from those of the core classical repertoire, both as soloist with orchestra and in recital to music well beyond the classical repertoire. His strong sense of community was shown in his active promotion of his regular 'Music Revival' concerts across KZN and other parts of the country. During lockdown, he reached an unprecedented number of new audiences with a series of free to view, hour-long live streams from his home studio, logging up over 75 000 viewing hours on YouTube alone.
