Classical pianist Christopher Duigan is performing live twice a week from his Pietermaritzburg home every Wednesday and Saturday evening at 6pm.
Saturday nights, billed as concert nights, showcase the big flashy and dramatic pieces of the concert repertoire, while Wednesdays, billed as piano hour, take on a more intimate selection, often around a theme, exploring music perhaps we have heard less often, or music that may have influenced or drawn from the pieces we know so well. Duigan has also used this opportunity to showcase some of his own compositions while also playing the pieces that inspired them.
Catch the live streams, and donate for tickets at his Music Revival page www.musicrevival.co.za or on his Facebook page
