Bulawayo Morning Mirror Edition 908 - 10/12/2020

Stars and The African Child

I was born, grew and flourished in a tawny golden bowl
Of Africa, among ramparts of tumbled granite rocks,
Where antelope passed in painted frieze
Under a pale, bleached sky, eagles floating;
A sky that lit up bronze and flaming at day's end,
Then filled with pinpricks of glacial light,
The Southern Cross spread constant across the sky,
And the Archer standing akimbo over my door,
As the world turned childhood slow in the indigo night.
I tumbled breathless, tear-streaked and dusty
From rough-coat, bony, devilish donkeys,
Feet stuck with paper thorns, devil thorns,
Arms scratched and bare - never thought to wear shoes.
Africa tripped me over, thumped me, loved me,
Washed me in warm brown flowing rivers,
Sandbars rising, sinking, slow windmill
Turning, clanking , tangling my heart,
Caught for all time in the wait-a-bit thorns.
I will never be free, though the grey loerie
Calls 'Go 'way, go 'way', and I did.

HOT FOOD - REGURGITATED!!

It was so lovely to read your article on hot food and warmer-drawers. I come from a family obsessed with "warmer-drawers", my mother insisted on one and my father, who was employed by one, Mr Louis Treger, in October 1959, to work for Kango in Newport Street, Belmont, Bulawayo, began with Ken Robas, developing the first Rhodesian made stoves, under licence from Kelvinator, South Africa.

My mother was the proud recipient of the very first stove produced. This was a glorious affair, four plate, huge oven and of course a warmer-drawer of substantial dimensions, in....."wait-for-it"....light turquoise blue, under the first badge of Kelvinator.

Thereafter with good old business acumen and to reduce royalty fees, Monarch, Kango and Superior ovens, cookers, hot-plates, where born! So remember with the Treger's faith, Ken Robus, (not riding his motor- bikes) and my dad who kept running away from Carl Fuchs, (of Fuchsware fame, German.. don't mention "za War"). Ovens in Rhodesia had big warmer-drawers! Have a wonderful "cold-turkey and roast potatoes this year,

Colin and Wendy Jennings.S.A.

ZIMBABWE ACADEMY OF MUSIC & PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO

Tel: 60684 / 67195 E-mail: zamfriends@gatorzw.co.uk

As the curfew has been relaxed to 10.00 p.m., the starting time for DVDs is now 5.30 P.M.

The Note, the Academy coffee shop, is open and is available for take-aways and deliveries as well as light meals before evening DVDs..

THURSDAY 10 DECEMBER AT 5.30 P.M. SENSE AND SENSIBILITY
Sense and Sensibility was released 25 years ago on 13 December 1995 and is based on Jane Austen's novel of the same name. Emma Thompson wrote the screenplay and stars as Elinor Dashwood, the eldest of three sisters. When their father dies, the family's finances are crippled and the Dashwoods move to a cottage in Devonshire, Elinor's sister Marianne (Kate Winslet) is torn between the handsome John Willoughby (Greg Wise) and the older Colonel Brandon (Alan Rickman). Meanwhile, Elinor's romantic hopes with Edward Ferrars (Hugh Grant) are hindered due to his prior engagement.
- 'Sense and Sensibility' is an uncommonly deft, very funny Jane Austen adaptation, marked by Emma Thompson's finely tuned performance. 97% approval rating. [Rotten Tomatoes]
- A beautifully-crafted, witty, moving film likely to overcome even the stiffest Austen prejudice. [Empire]
- What makes this adaptation so endearing is its loving depiction of the Dashwood family as a high-spirited and supportive clan. [Common Sense
Media]
Admission: US$1.00 [free to Film members]

FRIDAY 11 DECEMBER AT 5.30 P.M. MUSIC BY BEETHOVEN
The main works in the programme, the Fourth Piano Concerto and the Pastoral Symphony, were both first heard at Beethoven's marathon Vienna concert in 1808 when the Fifth Symphony, Choral Fantasy and several other works were also premiered! The programme tonight is rather modest but will also include the string quartet, Op.74 known as 'The Harp'.
- This is magnificent quartet playing: I am not sure I can name a finer account of this on disc in the past 50 or so years. [International Record Review]
- The performances are splendid because Barenboim always seems to catch the Romanticism, the wit, the grandeur, the nervous drive, and the delicate vestiges of Haydn and Mozart, all in a wide range of dynamics and with all-encompassing technique. [Classical Net]
- Listening to Bernstein on CD is good. But watching him direct, it's still something else... A leader inhabited by the work he directs, as if he had composed it himself. Difficult to resist so much charm. [Amazon]
Admission: US$1.00 [free to Red Carpet members]

THURSDAY 17 DECEMBER AT 5.30 P.M. COPYING BEETHOVEN - A FILM STARRING ED HARRIS & DIANE KRUGER Carriages: 7.30 p.m.
N.B. NO subtitles
Anna Holtz (Diane Kruger), a student at the Vienna Music Conservatory, eagerly accepts an assignment to work as a copyist for Beethoven (Ed Harris). The temperamental maestro develops a growing affection for his new companion, but she has plans to marry her long-time beau.
- In 'Copying Beethoven' Ed Harris proves an ideal substitute for the deaf, brooding composer, acting with a violent turbulence that sometimes floods the room. [New York Times]
- Winning originality, exhilarating. Ed Harris is fascinating to watch.
[[Sight and Sound]
- Powerful, an emotional journey. [Classic FM Magazine]
- Thrillingly good. [Mail on Sunday]
- A film that sounds as good as it looks. [Evening Standard]
Admission: US$1.00 [free to Film Members]
FRIDAY 18 DECEMBER AT 5.30 P.M. MUSIC BY BEETHOVEN Carriages: 8.00 p.m.

The programme begins with the 'Coriolan' Overture followed by the Triple Concerto with a 'dream team including pianist Martha Argerich, violinist Renaud Capucon and cellist Gautier Capucon, After the interval, what is perhaps the most famous of all Beethoven's works, the Ninth Symphony in a performance by Daniel Barenboim and his West-Eastern Divan Orchestra.
- The opening Beethoven Triple Concerto was a wonder to hear and behold. The virtuosity of Martha Argerich, the Capucon brothers, Gustavo Dudamel and his youthful Simon Bolivar Orchestra was truly amazing. Beethoven's masterpiece has never sounded so good! [Amazon]
- The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra's performance is a formidable achievement and one which grows in authority as it progresses. Barenboim's finale has tremendous sense of occasion and is as moving as any I've heard.
[Musicweb International]
- There are wonderful things here, such as the explosive crest of the first moment, the way the curtain lifts on the Adagio, gradually and serenely, the distant, hymn-like entrance of the basses as the 'Ode to Joy' theme wafts in
[Gramophone]
Admission: US$1.00 [free to Red Carpet members]
WEDNESDAY 23 DECEMBER AT 5.30 P.M. SCROOGE Carriages: 7.45 p.m.
The spirit of Christmas becomes a musical celebration of life in this rousing adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Mean-spirited and stingy, Ebenezer Scrooge has a sour face and a "humbug" for anyone who crosses his path. But on this Christmas Eve, he will learn the terrible fate that awaits him if he continues his miserly ways. Filled with joyous songs, this delightful tale has enriched the lives of young and old alike for
generations.
Scrooge was designed as a follow-up to 1968's Oliver, the Oscar-winning musicalization of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. The umpteenth musical version of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Scrooge is blessed with several sprightly Leslie Bricusse songs, including the bona fide hit Thank You Very Much. Once more buried under mounds of latex, Albert Finney is perfection itself as Ebenezer Scrooge, proving as effective as a young (un-made up) man as the old skinflint we've grown to love. The Three Ghosts who turn the miserly Scrooge's life around on Christmas Eve are portrayed by Edith Evans (Past), Kenneth More (Present) and Paddy Stone (Yet to Come) and also notable among the huge, predominantly British supporting cast is Sir Alec Guinness as a fussy, slightly effeminate Marley's Ghost. Best of all, Finney performs his many songs "live" and not lip-synched to a pre-recording.
Scrooge is more than satisfactory Yuletide entertainment. [Amazon]
- This is BY FAR the best movie about Scrooge you will ever see! The music is OVER THE MOON FANTASTIC...the story impeccably told...the acting by Albert Finney...Oscar worthy... [Amazon]
- This film is an underrated classic family musical. In the spirit and tradition of Oliver! and My Fair Lady, with an energetic memorable score and an eclectic cast all on top form. Sir Alec Guinness, Dame Edith Evans and the wonderful Kenneth Moore support magnificently. Moore in one of the last roles before his untimely death, clearly enjoying hamming it up as the ghost of Christmas Present carrying the miserable Scrooge along for the ride of his life whilst singing 'I like life!' is a joy to see. But Finney's performance is the standout. [IMDb]
Finney's performance as cold-hearted Scrooge is a professional high-water mark. [Variety]Full Review
- Director Ronald Neame's well-paced film captures the period beautifully, and the acting is superb, with Finney and Alec Guinness, as Marley's ghost, real standouts. [TV Guide]
Admission: US$1.00 [free to Film Members]

THURSDAY 24 DECEMBER AT 5.30 P.M. THE NUTCRACKER / 7.30 P.M. KING'S COLLEGE CAROLS Carriages: 7.15 p.m. (Nutcracker) / 8.45 (King's)
In the Royal Ballet's 2000 production of Tchaikovsky's ballet, with Anthony Dowell as Herr Drosselmeyer and Alina Cojocaru as Clara, Tchaikovsky's unforgettable score combines with the magical choreography inspired by Lev Ivanov in an atmosphere of fantasy and the supernatural. Hoffman's Christmas story unfolds with breath-taking splendour and beauty in the most festive and enduring of all ballets.
After a short break there will be a traditional service of lessons and carols from King's College, Cambridge.
Admission to both or either is US$1.00 [free to Red Carpet members]!
- Peter Wright's production is gloriously traditional, brilliantly choreographed, lavishly spectacular...The camera is always in the right place and Tchaikovsky's miraculously inspired score, of which one never tires, is marvellously played... [The Penguin Guide]
- Peter Wright's traditional production of The Nutcracker is lovely Christmas stuff, with lots of tutus and tiaras. [The Mail on Sunday]
- This is about as good as it gets. This is THE best Nutcracker I have found. You have everything and Anthony Dowell as well. The Sugar Plum Fairy is just superb and the whole story is told in full with all the characters fully represented. Principle dancers are all absolutely faultless. I loved every minute and I just don't think it is possible to better this. [Amazon]
- One almost feels privileged to watch... guaranteed to get you in the mood for Christmas. [Classic FM]
- Perhaps the finest Christmas choral performances ever recorded on DVD.
The Chapel exhibits gorgeous Pre-Reformation beauty especially in the candle light, matched by the outstanding singing of the choir. Stunning views of the rare fan vaulted roof. Classic and elegant. [Amazon]

TO ALL WHO REMEMBER MY MUM .... DOT CHISHOLM

My lovely Mum Dot, sadly passed away in Farnborough, Hampshire England, on Wednesday 2nd December 2020, eight days before her 100th Birthday.
Before my parents left Bulawayo to come and live in the UK in 2004, Dot worked at Patterson's Pharmacy and later at Highfield Pharmacy. All her customers were extremely special to her and she loved her work.
Although life in the UK was good to my parents, mum always longed for her beloved Bulawayo.
She will be sadly missed. God bless you all.

I was sent your letter by an old dancing friend of mine Joy Taylor. We both danced at Macdonald Academy of Dancing . I and my Sister Tanya danced from the age of 3 and I danced right up till 1984 .I have the fondest memories of my dancing childhood in Byo. Our curtain calls, mum sewing costumes, dancing with Vincent Hantam and the Byo City Ballet Co tours. Fantastic times! I competed in the Cyril Beaumont Bursary in CT against I think it was Sandy Ashwin I went to UCT Ballet school and then joined CAPAB 1986 to 1989.
