David Bowie Reworked

Sat Jun 16, 19:00 - Sat Jun 16, 20:10

Erasmus Louw Saal, PJ Olivier Art Centre

ABOUT


Having been dubbed the “Chameleon of Rock” and a master of reinvention, it felt that the only natural approach to an evening of eclectic arrangements in honour of the iconic musician and entertainer David Bowie would be a complete reinvention of his music itself. This is exactly what can be expected at the Ensemble Je Ne Comprends Pas concert on the 16th of June at the P.J. Olivier Art Centre in Stellenbosch.

 ‘David Bowie Reworked’ features works from the musician’s heyday conceptually reimagined as baroque compositions – a nod to his ability to revamp his music and image so many times over a long and illustrious career. The music is arranged by Stellenbosch based composer Jan-Hendrik Harley, and will be presented by a quartet of musicians from Ensemble Je Ne Comprends Pas: joining Jan-Hendrik Harley (violin, guitar and direction) on stage will be Joshua Frank (recorder and guitar), Mariechen Meyer (double bass) and John Pringle (percussion).

The program is performed on period instruments, and the Bowie pieces will be alternated with anonymous baroque works that reflect the recurring themes of angst, fear and alienation in his music, in order to aid the illusion.
