Violinist Jack Glatzer, accompanied by Erika Bothma on piano, will appear in a recital for the Friends of Music on April 20 at the Durban Jewish Club at 19h45.

Jack Glatzer regularly makes concert tours around the world and has played on every continent and in over 40 countries, having performed in some of the world's most prestigious venues.

His particular interest is the unaccompanied repertoire for the violin and he is one of the very few violinists to perform all 24 Caprices of Paganini in one concert as well as the complete solo works of Bach in a series of two concerts.

Erika Bothma started piano lessons at the age of four with her mother and by the age of 9 was studying violin with Jack de Wet and later with Pierre de Groote and Derek Ochse. She played violin in the PACOFS symphony orchestra for 18 years before joining the Eastern Cape Philharmonic Orchestra in 1996.

She has appeared as soloist with the Johannesburg Symphony, PACOFS, Consortium Musicum and the Eastern Cape Philharmonic Orchestras.
