ODU and Music Department concert at the Music School.

ODU Events

On Thursday 14 August 2025, the CT Branch of the ODU and the Music school at Bishops hosted a concert at the John Peake Music School.

Patrons were entertained to a wonderful evening of electrifying music as flautist Liesl Stoltz was joined by Tertia Visser-Downie (piano), Roxane Steffen (bass), and Langa Dubazana (drums) for Crossover with Bolling performed in a concert celebrating the boundary-blurring brilliance of French jazz pianist and composer Claude Bolling.  

The programme featured Bolling’s iconic Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio No. 1 (1973), a seven-movement tour de force that fuses the elegance of Baroque with the groove of jazz.

From the lyrical Sentimentale to the foot-tapping Irlandaise and dazzling finale Véloce, each movement explores a new musical landscape with wit, flair, and virtuosity. 

It was an unforgettable experience — a fusion of classical precision and jazz freedom — a celebration of music without borders. 

There were refreshments served afterwards and most stayed on to enjoy the rest of the evening and socialising.
