1) Editorial

The Sounds of Silence!

I am loving my spell of Granny Duty in the First World, but there is one thing I cannot come to grips with here!
The Sounds of Silence!

Africa is gigantic, large noisy, bustling, America is gigantic too but oh so quiet and civilized...
The houses are all air conditioned and this brings about a false sense of quietude, no dogs, no birds, no traffic.

How I miss the Bulawayo bird song in the morning and evening, in our garden in Bulawayo the birdsong is even raucous all day long. The doves, the robins, the bull bulls, the orioles, the broubrous, never stop singing and it becomes a melody to the soul.

Here in Georgia there are lovely, lively birds, but one only hears them in the Spring and Autumn where the weather is clement, and the when the doors are opened to the outside world. The rest of the year their delightful sounds are muted by the double glazing and air conditioning.

One can hear some sounds above the aircon - planes in the distance, the occasional leaf blower and lawnmower on the days when the garden service is provided.
One sound that I have heard infrequently, fortunately, is the storm siren based at the high school close by, twice it has heralded tornados and severe weather but they have passed us by luckily.

Back Home - ah the sounds, the sounds of the galvanized iron dustbin lids clanging as the cooks empty the nighttime bins, the sounds of the gardeners sweeping - incessantly - the Jacaranda leaves from the driveways. The gentle hum of the swimming pool filter, I even miss the sounds of the generators that kick in when there are power cuts!!

I miss the gentle murmur of the gardeners as they go about their daily tasks, the shrill voices of the baby minders as they push the babies out for a stroll, and gather at the corner of the road on our green verdant verge lawn.

I miss the sounds of the traffic, the noisy hoots of the taxi drivers and the grinding long haul buses and trucks as they ride over the speed humps outside Milton school.

I miss the manure man who plys his trade up and down the road, his patient donkeys pulling his cart, and his staccato voice shouting 'Manuuure' as he passes by. I miss the sounds of the cars as they clunketty clunk through the potholes, and I can always tell when there is a roadblock on Takawira Road, as the traffic increases exponentially on our side road as the taxi drivers avoid the police!!

I miss the sound of the water towers when they disgorge their overload and I dearly miss the ten to seven siren beckoning the workers to their labours...

Dogs Well thats another story... no one in their right mind misses the sound of the neighbors dogs at three in the morning...

Then there is the rain : the precious Matabele rain. At home we have a tin roof, and a tropical rainstorm sounds like Hades Unleashed as the berries, twigs and hail lash across the roof. In Georgia, with a tiled roof, even a thunderous storm sounds gentle and pleasing. How distressed I was to have missed the glorious multitudinous storms we were blessed with this season.

Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining, merely musing and at least in the USA the mosquitoes are kept at bay outside the houses!!

ZIMBABWE ACADEMY OF MUSIC

PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO

APRIL AT THE ACADEMY

April will be a quiet month at the Academy with Easter, Independence Day and Trade Fair restricting our activities -
though the latter will ensure that it is very far from quiet in another respect!
There will be no Academy events in the second half of the month but a full programme will resume in May.
Saturday 1 April Farewell Concert: Adri Botha and Deon Marcus 6.00 p.m.
Thursday 6 April Johnny English 7.00 p.m.
Friday 7 April Offenbach: La Grande-Duchesse de Gerolstein 6.30 p.m.
N.B.Wednesday 12 April Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius 7.00 p.m.
Friday 14 April Good Friday
Thursday 20 April Academy closed
Friday 21 April Academy closed
Thursday 27 April Trade Fair: Academy closed
Friday 28 April Trade Fair: Academy closed
The 50 Club Draw for April will take place on Thursday 4 May - and the draw for May on Thursday 1 June
as Thursday 25 May is a public holiday

Please note that the Academy has upgraded its projector and picture quality is now significantly improved!

Saturday 1 April Farewell concert for Deon Marcus and Adri Botha
Robert Sibson Hall at 6.00 p.m.
Sadly, both Adri and Deon will be leaving Bulawayo in early April. For this farewell concert, they will be joined by friends including Rose Green, Jessie Ndlovu, Emma Price, Dorothy Sikwela, Graham Bishop, Pieter Cloete and Jan Cloete in a wide-ranging programme of popular music that will last about an hour.
Wine and cheese will be available after the concert, the latter as part of the ticket price, the former at a modest cost!
Admission: $5.00 - no advance booking

Thursday 6 April Johnny English
Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.

'He knows no fear. he knows no danger. He knows nothing.' Rowan Atkinson plays Johnny English, the last remaining British spy and Britain's last hope. With the assistance of his sidekick, he must investigate the mysterious theft of the British Crown Jewels and get to the truth without denting the nation's pride - or his Aston Martin.

A comic actor of genius who raises silliness to an art form, the wonderfully expressive Atkinson makes excellent use of those devastating looks in the spy spoof Johnny English. [Los Angeles Times]
Atkinson is like a sketch-comedy troupe rolled into one body. [New York Times]
The spy-spoof genre is old hat ... but Atkinson is such an inventive, endearing clown that one doesn't mind. [San Francisco Chronicle]
Atkinson really is funny in this movie - maybe not pee-your-pants funny, but certainly hoot-out-loud funny. [Hollywood.com]
Delightfully daft. [Entertainment Weekly]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members]
Supper available from 6.15 p.m. Fillet steak rolls, special sauce and salad: $7.00

Friday 7 April Offenbach: La Grande-Duchesse de Gerolstein
Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m. Carriages: 9.45 p.m..

The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein - said to be based on Catherine the Great!- makes the fusilier Fritz a general because she is in love with him, and she makes him a fusilier again because he wants to stay faithful to his Wanda. This striking example of favouritism made Parisians think not only of Napoleon III and the French government but also reminded them of comical goings-on in small German states. The operetta mocks many things that call for mockery: court gossip in the newspapers, instances of haunting in castles and, not least, the cold countenances of diplomats and the boastful militarism of politicians. Offenbach's irresistible music succeeds wonderfully in exposing both the bombast of the military and the pomposity of the autocrats.

Offenbach's 1867 opera bouffe is here brought back to life in an all-singing, all-dancing staging that bursts with energy from start to finish. Laurent Pelly's production matches his own costumes in visual verve and an at times macabre wit... The role of the ageing autocrat with a taste for military men seems perfect for Felicity Lott. [BBC Music Magazine, April 2006]
I confess to having spent the evening helpless with laughter! [Opera]
The plot centres on the susceptibility of the Grand-Duchess to fall rather hard for younger men. This makes it a perfect vehicle for Felicity Lott who rather seems to specialise in such roles. She's brilliant. She sings gorgeously except where she doesn't want to and her comic timing is impeccable. [operaramblings.com]
Miss Lott can still make Offenbach roles come alive as no one else and shows no signs of slowing down. Minkowski's obvious delight and dedication to this music is much in evidence. He conducts his orchestra with an energy and lightness that shows the best side of the often delicious music. [Seen and Heard International]

Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]
Dinner available during the interval ($10.00): New recipe sweet and sour pork, rice or noodles and peas. Chocolate mousse

Wednesday 12 April Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius
Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
The Dream of Gerontius is perhaps Elgar's greatest work, a setting of Cardinal Newman's poem about the death of an old man and his soul's progress towards the judgement of God, unlikely material perhaps for a blazingly dramatic and ultimately deeply moving work. This recording is of a performance given in 1997 in the inspiring setting of St.Paul's Cathedral, the crowning achievement of another great English visionary, which was celebrating its tercentenary - or more precisely, its opening to the public for the first time on 2 December 1697. The great building was only finally completed in 1711.

This committed performance of Elgar's masterpiece is worthy of the music and of the noble building in which it was given. [Music Web International]
On the score of The Dream of Gerontius Elgar wrote, 'This is the best of me' and this great work combines the drama of opera with the structure of a great choral and orchestral work. This performance, recorded live by the BBC in St. Paul's Cathedral with three superb soloists and conducted with absolute commitment by Andrew Davis, shows what a masterpiece the work is. [DVD.COM]
The performance is as good as you can imagine, the production values (St. Paul's Cathedral) are stunning, and the music is so well served. Very strongly recommended. [Amazon review]
All lovers of this towering masterpiece by Elgar must buy this thrilling and deeply moving DVD. Andrew Davis shows that he is a superlative Elgarian and the BBC choir and orchestra were at the top of their game. The sensitive use of the magnificent interior of St.Paul's by the camera team is awe-inspiring and adds greatly to the overall achievement. [Amazon review]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]
Dinner available from 6.15 p.m. Stuffed roast fillet, sauteed potatoes and vegetables. Chocolate eclair

May 2017 (provisional)
Thursday 4 May April 50 Club draw 6.45 p.m.
Thursday 4 May The Madness of King George 7.00 p.m.
Friday 5 May Mascagni: Cavalleria Rusticana / Rossini:: La Scala di Seta 6.30 p.m.
Thursday 11 May The Living Daylights [Bond 15] 7.00 p.m.
Friday 12 May Notre Dame de Paris (ballet) 6.30 p.m.

19) Seeking Friends

I was browsing the web for news on Bulawayo, the City I was born and brought up in, and came across 'Bulawayo Balletomanes'. I found your article very interesting and the names of dancers/teachers you mentioned are all very familiar to me. The older names like Molly Stuart, my Late mom would have known. (My mom was a South African dancer in the 1930's and was examined by now the (Late) Dulcie Howes) I started dancing in 1973 at the age of 8. I started at Ceta Burt School of Ballet at the Hillside Scout Hall. I then went to Dorothy Ainscough School of dancing and was taught by Rosmary Williams and sometimes Dorothy herself. There was also a teacher there named Loraine Jaros who I remember. In 1980, I joined Judy Hardy School of Dancing and remember taking a trip to Selebi Phikwe, Botswana, to do a show - all such fun. I have fond memories of the Curtain Call shows that I danced in. Are the Curtain Call shows still on at the Bullawayo Theatre It seems the ballet world in my 'old home town' is a thriving rose bush!!! I am so very happy to know that.

Are the bi-annual Eistedfords still happening As a little girl, I watched Nicolette Loxton and Carol Kingsley being adjudicated. They must have been young budding teenage dancers back then. When in Cape Town, I saw them dance at the then 'Nico Malan Theatre' in Cape Town, and was proud that they were originally Zim dancers.

I see that Rosemary Williams (now Frost), sent a blog message. I would like to contact her. As far as I'm aware, Kim Smith (now Day) is still teaching at UCT Ballet School.

Indeed, for a tiny country, Zim certainly produced many famous ballerinas and dancers. Long may ballet remain a cultural reality in both Zim and South Africa.

I'm now living in Cape Town. I left Bulawayo with my retired parents, in December 1983, at the age of 18. In Cape Town, I had to find an office job to support myself, never going back to ballet until I was 29. I'd got up to Elementary level in Bulawayo, so merely carried on in the Elementary class. I decided to take up adult ballet classes, and for 4 years, I kept fit this way and even braved a couple of shows at St Josephs School in Rondebosch where the classes were held!

We've got some great dancers developing in Cape Town, and I hope Zim's up and coming dancers come over to SA to do shows.

I'll continue to keep up to date with what's going on in good old 'Bullies'.

Kind regards.
Lindsay Aron (Maiden name Souter)
