met Rocco de Villiers & Coenie de Villiers
n Klavier het 88 note, maar selfs twéé klaviere op een verhoog is nie genoeg vir die vinnige vingers van hierdie twee Suid-Afrikaanse klavier-legendes nie. Gehore het gevra, en Rocco de Villiers en Coenie de Villiers het geluister. Dié twee Viljees span hulle formidable kragte vir die heel eerste keer in hierdie debuutsaam. Hulle word op die verhoog deur Suid-Afrika se kitaar-maestro, Mauritz Lotz, bygestaan. Die repertoire strek vanaf boeremusiek tot by Bach, vanaf die blues tot by ballades. Daar is ou treffers wat spog met vars vertolkings, nuwe komposisies wat spesifiek vir hierdie produksie geskryf is, en – wag daarvoor! – splinternuwe woordkuns uit die penne van albei kunstenaars. Hulle style is uiteenlopend, maar hulle deel een groot liefde: Die klavier. In die proses skep hierdie musikante ‘n sonderlinge, nuwe klank. “En nee,” lag Coenie. “Ontspan – ek dra nie kortbroek op die verhoog nie!”

“88”
with Rocco de Villiers & Coenie de Villiers
A piano has 88 keys, but even two pianos on one stage are not enough for the fast fingers of these two South African piano legends. Audiences have asked, and Rocco de Villiers and Coenie de Villiers have listened. These two Villiers combine their formidable forces for the very first time in this debut collaboration. They are joined on stage by South Africa’s guitar maestro, Mauritz Lotz.
The repertoire ranges from boeremusiek to Bach, from the blues to ballads. There are old hits dressed in fresh interpretations, new compositions written specifically for this production, and – wait for it! – brand new word art from the pens of both artists. Their styles differ, but they share one great love: the piano. In the process, these musicians create a unique new sound.
“And no,” laughs Coenie, “relax – I don’t wear shorts on stage!”
