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 – […]

Ancient Music, “Con Brio”

Please pardon my delay of nearly a week before telling you about this truly class act – but I’ve had other fish to fry and some urgent deadlines to meet. SO much music; SOOO little time!

I’ll be stealing through the side streets and back alleys of our fair city to bring you the scoop on Piccolo Spoleto 2007. And I am dearly looking forward […]

Lindsay WHO?

Me? Well, if you’ve ever shopped for classical CDs at Millennium Music, you’ve probably encountered crazy Lindsay, the resident classical geek (glasses, big hair, even bigger mouth).
