The Charl du Plessis Trio brings their acclaimed Baroqueswing production to Kimberley’s WHAG Auditorium on 23 April. Baroqueswing transfigures the music of Bach, Handel, Scarlatti and Vivaldi to the 21st Century in new arrangements for jazz trio. The sophisticated sound of Baroque music is blended in a most subtle way with the excitement and rhythmic vitality of jazz to create a new listening experience. Famous melodies like Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Bach’s Air on a G String and Handel’s popular Largo are some of the works included on the programme.
 
Charl du Plessis is a Steinway Artist and was awarded Best Debut Production at the Vryfees Arts Festival in 2013 for Baroqueswing. Tours to Switzerland and China have transported the crossover music of this ensemble featuring Werner Spies on double bass and Hugo Radyn on drums to new parts of the world. This unique musical unit was also awarded a SAMA award award for their PIMP MY PIANO CD & DVD.
 
Baroqueswing is aimed at the classic music connoisseur and the LIVE CD recording of the Swiss performance will be on sale at the WHAG performance.
