THE Friends of Tatham Art Gallery (Fotag) and Music Revival will be hosting the launch of Indigo, an album featuring the talents of Spanish virtuoso David Salleras (saxophone) and Christopher Duigan (piano).
The launch will take place at the Tatham Art Gallery in Chief Albert Luthuli Street, Pietermaritzburg at
11 am on Sunday, June 21.
Since his first visit to South Africa in October 2012, Salleras has been collaborating on a project of concerts and recordings of original music with Duigan.
Regarded as one of the world leaders in contemporary classical saxophone, Salleras, based in Barcelona, Spain, has attracted international attention though his fluency in a variety of musical styles.
His partnership with Duigan is focused on the latter’s original music for saxophone and piano. Created over a number of years. Salleras has expressed an interest in this new music which he sees as a valuable contribution to the saxophone repertoire.
Tickets for the launch are R80. Booking is via e-mail at chris@fotag.co.za or by calling 033 342 3051 or SMSing 083 417 4473.

The concert will include selections from the album, world music from Spain and Argentina, film music and more. Cafe Tatham opens at 10 am and there is secure parking at the gallery. Indigo will be available for R100.
