On Breyten's Path

Minette du Toit-Pearce and Marika Hofmeyr recorded Nagmusiek in October 2022, a CD dedicated to South African Art Song. Featuring works by Hendrik Hofmeyr and Arnold van Wyk, it was chosen as Contemporary CD of the Week by France Musique, the national French classical radio, and received critical acclaim. Inspired by their harmonious collaboration, they are currently preparing a new album around Lieder by Hendrik Hofmeyr, including his very latest Sewe studies op gedigte van. Breyten Breytenbach.

With works by van Wyk, Granados, Debussy, Fauré and Hofmeyr, the duo's current concert programme proposes an imaginary itinerary based on Breytenbach’s path from his native South Africa to his second home in Paris, also following him on his regular visits to Spain.
