– Plenty of good stuff to tell you about this week – beginning tonight (Thursday) at 8:00 p.m. with jazzman Frank Duvall & friends appearing at the Simons Center Recital Hall.
Chamber Music Charleston is presenting their second House Concerts program at various downtown Charleston and Kiawah Island homes through Nov. 5. Tickets are kinda scarce for these programs, but you never know when a last-minute vacancy might happen. Call (843) 763-4941 to find out. Scroll down to see what I had to say about their terrific last program, and for a link to their site.
Sunday is jam-packed – take your pick:
The Sundays at John’s (John’s Island Presbyterian Church, that is) series will feature the harpsichord artistry of music director Eric Johnson – works by Frescobaldi, Sweelinck and Bach – at 3 p.m. No charge. Check out their season HERE.
The Charleston Symphony Orchestra Woodwind Quintet will appear at 4:00 p.m. at First (Scots) Presbyterian Church, offering a very promising program of works by William Grant Still, Jan Bach, and Pacquito D’Rivera. Free. More info HERE.
The Southcoast Symphony – Charleston’s Community Orchestra – will present their “Made in America” program, featuring music by Dvorak, Saint-Saens and conductor Manny Alvarez; 4:00 p.m. at the Cathedral Church of St Luke & St Paul. No Charge.
Experimental music in Charleston (EMC) presents Thirteenth Assembly, a touring collective made up of four musicians and four different and musically distinct small ensembles. Their style is described as “….somewhere between the classic r&b/soul revues of the 60’s and a post-modern traveling circus.” 8:00 p.m., at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, Simons Center for the Arts at the College. $10; $5 for students with ID. Nathan Koci of Charleston’s New Music Collective tells us that this one should be pretty cool. Find out MORE.
I wanted to emphasize the College’s Monday Night Concert Series event, featuring the early music ensemble known as Brio. Directed by Music Department Head Steve Rosenberg, the group features the unforgettable countertenor voice of Jose Lemos – a product of C of C’s vocal program – who is busy attending to a burgeoning international opera career. The group recently recorded a new CD for the recently resurrected Dorian label, which I’ve had the pleasure of hearing. Let me know if you want one. It’s at 8:00 p.m. at the Simons Center Recital Hall. Check out the College’s many programs HERE.
Finally, you can enjoy the organ artistry of George Hubbard at Tuesday’s free noon-hour St. Luke’s Chapel series. The program – sponsored by the Charleston chapter of the American Guild of Organists – is “Music by Kings and Queens” (from the British Museum).
