At Last! – Chanticleer, in Person(s)
April 20, 2008 – 1:00 pm
Citadel Square Baptist Church rang last Thursday evening to the ravishing sounds of Chanticleer : America’s most successful professional choir. Many of us (like me) know this amazing 12-voice men’s ensemble only via their many excellent CDs – so the Charleston Concert Association did me (along with Chucktown’s small army of choral fans) a huge […]
College’s Vocal/Choral Program Struts its Stuff
October 27, 2007 – 2:17 pm
Just a few blogs back I told you that the choral arts are alive and well in Charleston – make that WORLD-CLASS well. And that’s just part of the vital and rapidly growing vocal music scene at the College of Charleston’s School of the Arts (SOTA). The quality and diversity of the Vocal/Choral Program have […]
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 […]
Eargasm Alert: The Best they’ve Ever Been
October 18, 2007 – 12:32 pm
Sorry for the last-minute notification on this – the headlong pace of my life often leaves me running behind. But, especially if you’re a choral aficionado, here’s a concert you just can’t miss.
The College of Charleston Concert Choir just finished their fall concert tour – and based on their performances, Dr. Robert Taylor, their […]
Backstage Pass: Didja get YOURS?
October 7, 2007 – 5:43 pm
It was great to see – and hear – the Charleston Symphony back at the Sottile Theatre again. The occasion was Friday evening’s opening concert of the CSO’s new “Backstage Pass” series, formerly known as “Casual Classics”.
The similarities? The emphasis is still on smaller-scale orchestral classics; mostly accessible, appealing material by “cool” modern […]
Vetting Verdi
June 5, 2007 – 2:44 pm
Some of the festival’s heaviest eargasms happened last night, courtesy of Maestro Joseph Flummerfelt, a huge orchestra plus chorus, and some pretty classy soloists — all conspiring to crank out Giuseppe Verdi’s towering, overpowering Requiem. But there were some problems, too. Curious? Check out my full review, right HERE.
The Wunnerful Women of Westminster
June 4, 2007 – 10:23 am
For those of you who haven’t been there, St. Stephen’s Church on Anson St. is more like a chapel than a church … and it was the perfect, intimate venue for the twin pair of “Les Angélus” programs, sung mostly by the lovely-voiced ladies of the Westminster Choir. It seems that the only opera chorus […]
Prepping for Verdi & Mahler
June 3, 2007 – 4:11 pm
You always get more out of a great piece of music if you learn a little something about it first. Verdi’s rip-snortin’ Requiem looms large (Monday), and Mahler’s “heavenly” Symphony No. 4 (plus Strauss & Dukas) will be upon us the next day. Other blogging priorities keep me from spending much time on telling you […]
The New Wizard of Westminster
June 1, 2007 – 10:39 am
It was standing room only at St. Matthews yesterday for the first of two scheduled concerts by the entire Westminster Choir (women and men) under the direction of their new Director, Joe Miller. Their “Les Angelus” program, with just the women, has already been heard. But before I can blog about that one, I’ll have […]
One Last Spoletogasp
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 […]
