FIRST EVER SOUTH AFRICAN TOUR CONFIRMED


FOO FIGHTERS FOO FIGHTERS


With Special Guests Kaiser Chiefs and BLK JKS


Foo Fighters - Credit Steve Gullick Foo Fighters – Credit Steve Gullick


Big Concerts are excited to announce that Foo Fighters have confirmed two stadium dates for December 2014. This will be the first time that Foo Fighters will perform in South Africa


 


The South African tour dates are as follows:


 


Cape Town: 10th December 2014 at Cape Town Stadium


Johannesburg: 13th December 2014 at FNB Stadium


 


Presented by 5FM and M-Net. Another Big Concerts Experience.


 


Tickets go on sale for both dates go on sale on Thursday 26th June at 9am.  Go to www.bigconcerts.com for all the information.


 


Foo Fighters are Dave GrohlTaylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear. Since debuting in 1995 with their classic self-titled first album, Foo Fighters have steadily grown into the last great American arena/stadium rock band, with 2011‘s Wasting Light debuting at #1 in the U.S. and 11 other countries while their catalogue–which also includes The Colour & The Shape (1997), There Is Nothing Left To Lose (1999), One By One (2002), In Your Honor (2005), Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace (2007)–has raked in 11 Grammy Awards, sold over 25 million copies worldwide and spawned anthems like Everlong, Monkey Wrench, My Hero, Learn To Fly, All My Life, Best Of You, The Pretender, Walk and more.


 


The band’s eighth studio album is due for release in November 2014, and will be preceded by the premiere of Sonic Highways, a Dave Grohl-directed episodic series documenting the eight-city odyssey during which the album was recorded. If Grohl’s 2013 directorial debut, the Grammy-winning Sound City, was a celebration of the human element in music, Sonic Highways is, in its director’s words, “a chronicling of a journey to unravel the fabric of our musical identity… not only the making of our most ambitious album…


Sound City on steroids.


Foo Fighters - Credit Steve Gullick 11 6 Foo Fighters – Credit Steve Gullick 11 6


 


These two stadium dates will mark the first time that Foo Fighters have ever performed in South Africa. Fans will be treated to a once in a lifetime performance of 20 years worth of hits as only Foo Fighters can deliver.

ABOUT THE LOCAL LINE-UP


CrashCarBurn is an indie punk pop foursome has brought us some takkie-squeaking thumpers like The Light, Serenade, Twisted and more recently Keep Walking with Kwesta.


iFani will certainly bring a comical musicality to the local line-up. The Eastern Cape native is known for his tongue-in-cheek lyrics and dance moves. He doesn’t take himself all too seriously and is keen to take on Jason Derulo in an on-stage dance-off!


No stranger to the South African indie-pop/rock scene, the Graeme Watkins Project is the third outfit to be announced. Graeme has proven that being a TV reality show talent extends beyond that stage. Now, on their second album, tracks like Music Affair, Blood Shot Eyes and Fly Away have solidified their stamp in the music industry.


Kwesta snatched up the fouth spot on the line-up. Kwesta, aka Mr Kool, burst onto the music scene with the track Stomp followed by the crossover track Flava. He is stoked to be part of the line-up with rockers CrashCarBurn, with whom he’s recently collaborated on the track Keep Walking.


Greg Carlin and the members of Zebra and Giraffe are the fifth act to be added to the I Heart Joburg Festival stage. Z&G made a huge splash in 2008 with the release of their debut album and dominated at the 2009 SA Music Awards.


The Arrows claimed the final spot on the line-up. The Arrows burst on their scene with their hit song love sick and completely took over airwaves with their latest smash hit Spin my world around with Dj Kent.

INTERNATIONAL STAR VIOLINIST PINCHAS ZUKERMAN


FOR THREE CAPE CONCERTS


 


Legendary violinist, Pinchas Zukerman, accompanied by his wife, pre-eminent South African born Canadian cellist Amanda Forsyth, will give three Cape orchestral concerts in Stellenbosch on Tuesday, 19 August and Saturday, 23 August and at the Cape Town City Hall on Friday, 22 August 2014.  


 


Touring South Africa courtesy of local promoter, Charl van Heyningen of Charl van Heyningen Enterprises, the Endler Concert Series features performances by one of the world’s most accomplished violinists, Pinchas Zukerman.  Born in Tel Aviv in 1948, Pinchas Zukerman settled in America in 1962 where he studied at The Juilliard School with Ivan Galamian. He has been awarded the Medal of Arts, the Isaac Stern Award for Artistic Excellence and was appointed as the Rolex Mentor and Protégé Arts Initiative’s first instrumentalist mentor in the music discipline. Pinchas Zukerman’s extensive discography contains over 100 titles, and has earned him 21 GRAMMY Award nominations and two awards.


 


Mr Zukerman’s international acclaim of several decades also extends to the conductor’s podium and audiences in the Western Cape have a choice of two programmes in which to experience Zuckerman as both a violinist and as conductor.


On 19 August, Zukerman and Forsyth will present a programme of the Vivaldi double concerto, Boccherini cello concerto and Mozart violin concerto no 5 in A major K219 with the SAMA winning Stellenbosch University Camerata that accompanied Joshua Bell to critical acclaim in 2012. This concert will take place at Stellenbosch University’s Endler Hall at 8pm.


 


Commencing at 8pm on 22 and 23 August the duo will perform Malcolm Forsyth’s Elektra Rising for cello and orchestra as well as Bruch’s famous violin concerto with the University of Stellenbosch Symphony Orchestra in the Cape Town City Hall and the Endler Hall in Stellenbosch respectively. Whilst Mr Zukerman will conduct Elektra Rising, he will also appear as soloist in the Bruch under the baton of resident music director, Corvin Matei.


 


Dr Malcolm Forsyth (1936 – 2011) was born in Pietermaritzburg and as a citizen of Canada was named Canadian Composer of the year (1989) whilst in 2003, he was made a Member of the Order of CanadaElektra Rising is a complex and beautiful work that exploits the full range of the solo cello. These performances by Forsyth’s daughter and son-in-law represent a homecoming of sorts for this internationally acclaimed composer. Ms Forsyth has performed and recorded her father’s compositions throughout her career, winning a Juno Award in 1997 for her recording of his cello concerto Elektra Rising. The effusive critical acclaim for cellist Amanda Forsyth’s playing and technique is as varied as the range she displays as an internationally in-demand soloist, chamber musician and principal cello of Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra. Critics have praised her vibrant, assertive and energetic sound while also hailing her as a warm, lyrical, articulate and gracious musician. In all roles, she is noted as a performer of distinction and dedication with impeccable technique and command.


 


Pinchas Zukerman has remained a phenomenon in the world of music for over four decades. His musical genius, prodigious technique and unwavering artistic standards are a marvel to audiences and critics. Devoted to the next generation of musicians, he has inspired younger artists with his magnetism and passion. His enthusiasm for teaching has resulted in innovative programs in London, New York, China, Israel and Ottawa. The name Pinchas Zukerman is equally respected as violinist, violist, conductor, pedagogue and chamber musician. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the musical genius of Pinchas Zukerman in Cape Town this August.


 


Booking is open at Computicket and patrons are encouraged to book early for these gala affairs. Ticket prices range from R350 (pensioners) to R450 and further information can be obtained from Leon van Zyl leonvanzyl@sun.ac.za / 021 808 2358.

Cirque Éloize iD – First time in SA


CIRQUE ELOIZE ID CIRQUE ELOIZE ID


First time ever in SA, Cirque Éloize’s iD


to debut at Montecasino


 


http://www.cirque-eloize.com/en/shows/id


                                                     


nebbia_5 nebbia_5


                                                                           


It’s a thrilling spectacle of circus arts and urban dance never seen before in this country as Cirque Éloize’s iD heads to South Africa for the first time. Directed by Jeannot Painchaud, iD is a high-energy production, blending acrobatics, street dance and hip hop. The show opens at the Teatro at Montecasino on 19 August 2014 for a limited season.  Tickets are on sale at Computicket


 


Brought to South Africa by Hazel Feldman’s Showtime Management, Cirque Éloize’s iD has been enjoyed by more than 400 000 spectators in nearly 600 performances in 50 cities across the globe in 12 countries. In this show the contemporary circus world meets the world of urban dances. Set in an inner-city environment, iD explores the themes of identity, individuality and autonomy in a culture where omnipresent images cause us to lose our reference points, making us express the same values by way of different codes. The show’s energy and poetry will surpass the expectations of audiences and make iD the talk of “Jozi” in 2014. “The recent runaway success of the show in London says it all – this is a unique and massively exciting show for the whole family – kind of a TAP DOGS on steroids..!!!’ says Hazel Feldman.


 


nebbia_1 nebbia_1


Since the company was founded in 1993Cirque Éloize has become a world leader in contemporary circus arts. Staging innovative productions, the company specializes in creating shows that combine circus arts with theater, dance and music in a path-breaking manner. Cirque Éloize recently partnered with Cirque du Soleil® based on a common creative vision and international entertainment appeal.


 


iD features a cast of 15 acrobats and performers, and incorporates innovative multimedia elements, as well as a rock and electronica inspired soundtrack created by composers Jean-Phi Goncalves and Alex McMahon. In Cirque Éloize’s iD, acrobatic disciplines are combined with the energy of hip-hop and street dances, giving a fresh and high octane spin to modern circus.


mosaique_accueil_ce mosaique_accueil_ce


 


The show’s Director, Jeannot Painchaud says, “It is with great pleasure that we bring this urban tale, filled with color, passion and energy to Johannesburg for the very first time. In keeping with the company’s tradition, with iD we’ve again combined different art forms – this time urban dances – to infuse their energy and edginess to the acrobatic performances. Now imagine two rival gangs, sharing a public place at the heart of a city, and seeking to express their iDentity and inDividuality, and you have iD.”


 


Since the show began touring in 2010, it received rave reviews from the public and critics alike. The Toronto Star wrote “You’re not going to find a more energetic, mind-blowing, roof raising piece of entertainment than iD”, while The Boston Globe said “Astonishing! A truly memorable evening with propulsive music and explosive dancing!” To put it simply, the Montreal Gazette described it as “West Side story gone hip hop circus” and the Miami Herald defined it as “Jaw-dropping entertainment! An eloquent testament to imagination, artistry and the child within us all!” Just recently, when the troupe performed in London, The Guardian wrote: “It mixes circus and urban dance to cracking effect (…) the skill and excitement levels are sky-high” and the Telegraph enthusiastically described the show, Cirque Éloize’s famed iD spectacle, is an eye-popping display of contemporary circus acts fused with frenetic urban dance and graphically staged theatre.”

Cirque Éloize’s iD is directed by Jeannot Painchaud. The set design, illustrations and video projections are created by Robert Massicotte in collaboration with Alexis Laurence.
