ABOUT

Met Marina Erasmus (sopraan), Raimondo Slabbert-van Staden (tenoor), Johan van der Merwe (verteller), Liesl Stolz (fluit), Mario Nell (klawesimbel), Johanna Roos-strykkwartet


Bach se Koffiekantate (in Afrikaans) en ander Afrikaanse koffietreffers. Sedert koffie die eerste keer in Europa sy verskyning gemaak het, het dit mense betower. J.S. Bach se komiese Koffiekantate (Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht, BWV 211) dateer uit die 1730’s en kan beskou word as kommentaar op dié verslawing. In Koffiekan word kommentaar gelewer op die koffiekultuur van Stellenbosch en vat die gehoor op ’n avontuur van komiese koffieliedjies wat menige koffiesnob in hul espresso sal laat stik!

Bach's Coffee Cantata will be performed in Afrikaans for the first time at the Woordfees. Since coffee first appeared in Europe, it has captivated people. Bach composed his comical Coffee Cantata in the 1730s as a social commentary. Koffiekan offers a take on Stellenbosch's popular coffee culture and takes us on an adventure of humorous coffee songs that will leave many a coffee snob choking on their espresso!
