ABOUT
A fascinating parallel connects German-born musicians Markus Geiselhart and Markus Harm: despite being born ten years apart in Stuttgart, they both found their way to teaching at Vienna's prestigious mdw - University of Music and Performing Arts. Harm's appointment as Professor of Saxophone in 2022 followed Geiselhart's arrival as an instructor for big band and ensemble conducting by almost a decade. Joining this Viennese delegation is drummer David Panzl, whose jazz experience enriches his role as a classical percussion teacher at the mdw since 2012. This May, Cape Town will welcome these three artists to the South African College of Music at the University of Cape Town for a week of teaching. The week will culminate in a special concert, “Vienna visits Cape Town,” where they will share their compositions and arrangements alongside their Cape Town peers.
