GARDEN ROUTE NEWS - Carpe Musicam! Orchestra and Choir will be performing their Spring 2024 Collection, Classics From The Movies, soon. 

All the music in this programme is chosen from well-known classical music which has featured in movies. 

Original, lush

Operatic favourites, such as Nessun Dorma and The Slaves Chorus from Nabucco in their original, lush, orchestral and choral clothes, will contrast with the rather naughty Mozart’s Samba alla Turca and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade Goes Latin with virtuosic violin soloist Cherith Bain delighting audiences us with her soothing sounds. 

Slow movement

Newcomer Carin Retief will solo in the slow movement of Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, bringing back memories of Robert Redford and Meryl Streep in Out of Africa. 

The programme is full of up-to-date versions of old favourites as well as a few more traditional treatments.

It promises to be fully family-friendly and, at about 90 minutes long, will not prove at all onerous on the concentration span.
