SUMMARY:Music at MERA: Homewood Duo
DESCRIPTION:Violinist Patrick Goodwin and pianist Reese Barkhuizen have been performing together for years but have only recently formalized their collaboration as the “Homewood Duo”. For their performance at MERA they will present “Fall Colours”\, a classical “playlist” for the autumn season. The programme contrasts the spirited energy of Beethoven with the colourful brushstrokes of Debussy\, exploring the rustic hues\, bucolic comforts\, and quiet resolutions of the fall. The programme also features solo works for both instruments\, including Mendelssohn’s beloved Rondo Capriccioso for piano and a nostalgic work for solo violin by South African composer Hendrik Hofmeyr. \nViolinist Patrick Goodwin previously held the position of concertmaster with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra\, frequently leading the orchestra in partnership with Cape Town Opera and Cape Town City Ballet. Now based in Toronto\, Patrick regularly performs with various orchestras including the Canadian Opera Company\, the Orchestra of the National Ballet of Canada\, and the newly formed Canadian Chamber Orchestra. As a passionate chamber musician\, Patrick has appeared in concert throughout South Africa and collaborates regularly with various groups in and around Toronto\, including performances with his duo and life partner\, pianist Reese Barkhuizen. \nOriginating from South Africa\, Reese Barkhuizen enjoys critical acclaim as a concert pianist\, collaborative artist\, and teacher. As well as competing in several international piano competitions\, his performances and studies have taken him from Cape Town to Finland\, China\, Estonia\, the USA\, and the United Kingdom. As an educator\, Reese has taught students at some of South Africa’s most prestigious institutions. He is currently the director of music at Sunnybrook School in Toronto where he continues to inspire and motivate students while maintaining a busy performance schedule. \nTickets are available at Tickets Please \nThanks to the generous support of the Ontario Arts Council we are able to offer a $20 discount to those 30 years and under\, and if they wish\, an additional $20 discount for their “guest” of any age. \nRegular – 31 years & older: $30 plus fees\nDiscount Single – 30 years & under: $10 plus fees\nDiscount Pair – 30 years & under with guest of any age (2 tickets): $20 plus fees \nFunding support provided by the Ontario Arts Council and the Government of Ontario
