Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet relates another doomed love, while Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony has a brightness and energy beyond the requirements of Soviet war-time propaganda.Tickets £9.50 - £46. | ||

All 3 Performances for $79 by calling 519.271.2101 or toll-free 1.866.288.4313 Mzansi Sings Africa – Thursday, August 22 What could be more appropriate than that these young Ambassadors for Africa re-introduce themselves to us with a focus on their continent and their nation, South Africa. Among the songs to be highlighted in this concert will be Alane, a love song by the Cameroonian artist, West; Indodana, a traditional isiXhosa song sung during Eastertide; Sunshine, which challenges young Africans to complete their schooling as positive, proactive youth; and Weeping, a protest song from the 1980’s about white oppression. The Mzansi Youth Choir was established in July 2003 with the aim of affording talented, underprivileged teenagers and young adults (14-24 years) the opportunity to proficiently perform locally and abroad. The choir consists of 45 choristers from Soweto and other areas in and around Johannesburg. The word Mzansi means south in isiZulu and is also the township slang word for South Africa. The choir’s repertoire is an exciting assortment of South African music which incorporates elements of traditional music, pop and jazz. Ralf Schmitt is the dynamic conductor and artistic director who inspires and leads this exceptional choir through his passion for the music of South Africa and his expertise in the folk music of his native land. Ralf is a recognized choral music specialist and a composer, arranger, lecturer, adjudicator, conductor and author for music in films, on discs, on radio and in publications. In addition to having conducted the National Youth Choir of South Africa he has also conducted events featuring such international artists as Alicia Keys, the Black Eyed Peas, Shakira, John Legend and K’Naan at the FIFA 2010 Kick-Off Celebration and the World Cup Final concerts. Stratford Summer Music is delighted to welcome this extraordinary group of young Africans whose initial visit in 2011 was a highlight of that season, setting new records for attendance at their MusicBarge performances. | ||

| Baxter Theatre Centre, Rondebosch, Cape Town, Baxter Theatre Main Rd, Cape Town 7701, South Africa Thursday 22-Aug-13 07:30pm Presented by Cape Town Opera in collaboration with the UCT Opera School at the Baxter Theatre.
CTO and the UCT Opera School continue their exploration of Mozart’s mature operas with a theatrically daring take on his thrilling Don Juan adaptation.
“640 Italians. 231 Germans. 100 French and 91 Turks. But in Spain – there are already 1003.”
With 2065 names in his little black book, Don Giovanni can lay fair claim to the title of the world’s greatest seducer. But one night in Seville, literature’s most famous sex addict goes too far – and must face supernatural retribution for his crimes.
Don Giovanni has inspired obsessive admiration ever since it was created – along with Hamlet and the sea, Flaubert believed it was one of “the three finest things God ever made” - and the greatest singers of every generation long to put their stamp on its memorable characters. Yet Mozart had a young cast in mind when he penned the opera – the first Giovanni was 21, and the first Donna Anna 24 – and Don Giovanni springs off the page with a visceral authenticity when performed by energetic twenty-somethings.
Kamal Khan and Matthew Wild return as conductor and director to create a new production of the opera, following their darkly illuminating Cosi fan tutte in 2012, “an entertaining production which unites sublime music with thought-provoking interpretation” (Cape Argus). “The Don propels himself through his last night on earth with manic abandon, compelling love, hate, lust and obsession from all who orbit around him,” says Wild. “No other opera explores sexual and romantic compulsion so arrestingly – themes we will foreground in a show that is young, raw and startling.” | ||

| New Media Scotland, Edinburgh, 1 Crichton Street, Edinburgh EH8 9AB, United Kingdom Thursday 22-Aug-13 09:00pm To Dream Again World Premiere Cellist Peter Gregson’s new work To Dream Again unfolds after a series of interactions between the audience and bespoke data systems. Created especially for this world premiere, these audience interactions mean that each performance develops in an entirely different way in the laboratory venue and subsequently online, where it decays until finally it can no longer be heard. Quite the matter of life and data. Peter Gregson is equally at home collaborating with some of the most exciting musicians working today (including Gabriel Prokofiev, Daníel Bjarnason and Max Richter) as he is with world-leading technologists, ranging from the Media Lab at MIT, Microsoft Labs and his own Google-funded incubator, The Electric Creative Colab. Commissioned by New Media Scotland, To Dream Again was developed during a sixmonth residency. Image credit: Sussie Ahlburg | ||

Eighteen-year-old Baku-born London resident Fidan Hajiyeva performs alongside her mentor, the Azerbaijani singer Gochaq Askarov. One of the most distinguished and eloquent exponents of the ancient mugham form, Askarov has worked closely with Fidan during a recent three-week period of teaching and performance in Azerbaijan. Also featuring on the bill are the guitar-driven ‘desert blues’ of Tinariwen, from the Sahara Desert region of northern Mali, and the central Malian singer/ngoni (lute) player Bassekou Kouyaté with his band Ngoni Ba – two celebrated groups fusing traditional and popular styles, who have taken the world music scene by storm.Tickets £12 - £16. | ||
