Charleston Music Fest Does it Again
April 28, 2008 – 8:53 pm
It seems I can never make it to all of the worthwhile classical music events hereabouts – but I make a special effort to get to as much of the College of Charleston’s fabulous Charleston Music Fest series as I can. The pet project of star musicians and C of C professors Lee-Chin Siow (violin) […]
Olé! Cuban Pianist Rocks the Sottile
April 20, 2008 – 1:15 pm
I’ve been looking forward all year to the return appearance of Cuban virtuoso Jorge Luis Prats in the College of Charleston’s dependable International Piano Series – in a busy and remarkable local concert season, to boot. And I’m not the only one who marked his calendar way ahead for this one: Prats’ many local fans […]
Eargasm Alerts – LOTS of ‘Em
November 1, 2007 – 6:00 pm
– 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 […]
Impending Eargasms: Vocal, Chamber and Symphonic happenings
October 25, 2007 – 5:26 pm
A busy musical weekend looms, beginning tomorrow evening (8:00 p.m., Friday, Oct 26th) with a gala vocal scholarship benefit concert at the College of Charleston’s Simons Center Recital Hall. The College’s vocal/choral programs have never been better – and your support will help keep their efforts on an upward curve. Featured will be the College’s […]
In Quest of the Elusive House Concert
October 16, 2007 – 10:46 am
Glory, hallelujah – I was finally able to make it to one of Chamber Music Charleston’s fabled “House Concerts” last Monday, thanks to a last-minute vacancy — and the kindness of director Sandra Nikolayevs in letting me know about it. Pardon my delay in reporting on it – but (as you’ll see in Wednesday’s […]
One Last Spoletogasp
June 20, 2007 – 12:10 pm
It’s hard to believe it’s over — that it’s been over, for more than a week. It seems like a rich, juicy dream of musical gluttony. But it must’ve happened: I emerged from my usual semi-comatose post-Spoleto state this morning to find my own festival music overview on the streets in today’s City Paper (and […]
Chamber Finale: Supreme Schubert and More
June 9, 2007 – 11:07 pm
With Schubert’s heart-rending “Cello Quintet” on the menu Saturday afternoon, you couldn’t have kept me away from the Dock Street Theatre with a court order. But program XI – the final one – sported some other goodies worth mentioning, too.
Michael Torke, one of today’s “hot” American composers – wrote an extended piece called Telephone Book, […]
Farewell, My Friends
June 9, 2007 – 10:37 am
No, not to YOU, my faithful blogophiles; not yet. That’ll come very soon. Kindly read on.
Violinist Megan Julyan-Holland and her husband, cellist James Holland, have held the positions of Principal 2nd Violin and Principal Cello of the Charleston Symphony for quite some time. I’ve known them well ever since I was a member of […]
Something Different at Dock Street
June 9, 2007 – 10:27 am
Friday’s tenth chamber program was unusual in two respects. First, the same musical team – pianist Stephen Prutsman and the St. Lawrence String Quartet – remained onstage for the entire program – and the final of the two works offered was a rare chance for a multimedia chamber experience – the first I’ve enjoyed in […]
Home-Grown Composers (some good ones, too!)
After the final Tender Land curtain call (previous post), I hot-footed it next door to the College of Charleston’s Simmons Center recital hall, where the Spring edition of the annual Young Composers’ Forum was already well under way. C of C professors Edward Hart and Trevor Weston run the school’s well-respected composition program – […]
