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) […]
Russian Passion, English Restraint
November 27, 2007 – 10:39 pm
Kindly pardon my week-long absence – even bloggers appreciate occasional holidays (and many of us have other things to do for a living). But I still feel obliged to tell you about Jan Rautio, the brilliant and versatile young Russian pianist who graced the College of Charleston’s latest International Piano Series recital at the Sottile […]
OLÉ! Fandangos (and other cool Hispanic stuff)
November 14, 2007 – 12:50 am
Last Friday’s Charleston Symphony “Backstage Pass” concert at the Sottile Theatre capped the series’ early emphasis on the huge (and little-known) body of engaging music from south of the border – and by that I mean not only Mexico, but south all the way into South America.
The program’s title came from the first work, […]
Fine Young Fiddler Alert
October 29, 2007 – 9:58 am
It’s only natural that the best music students gravitate to the very finest of performers and teachers. So it should be no surprise that Charleston Symphony Concertmaster Yuriy Bekker has taken on some of the brightest and best of our budding young violininists as his students. Several of them will appear here at 7:30 tonight […]
Bavarian Philharmonic Energizes Beethoven
October 23, 2007 – 10:51 am
Those of you who followed Eargasms during Spoleto know that I was only able to keep up with the best stuff with the help of guest bloggers – mostly fellow musicians and knowledgeable classical fans around town. I’m finding that, even during the regular season, it’s well-nigh impossible to keep up with all the best […]
Lost and found: a Famous Right Hand
October 20, 2007 – 4:43 pm
It was an evening of miracles: and for me, on more than just one level. I speak of last Tuesday evening’s appearance of Leon Fleisher and his wife, Katherine Jacobsen-Fleisher, in the season opener of the College of Charleston’s International Piano Series at the Sottile Theatre. I’d been looking forward to it keenly for weeks.
Although […]
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 […]
Eargasm Alert: Two CSO Happenings & a Kennedy Center Honoree!
October 10, 2007 – 11:47 am
The Serious music scene in Chucktown tends to explode in October – and this week promises to be the busiest one yet. I’ve been running myself ragged keeping up with it all. So watch for imminent commentary – either printed or online – about Chamber Music Charleston’s latest house concert and the New Music […]
Eargasm Alert: Music at Millennium – and the College
September 14, 2007 – 10:13 am
Here’s your initial Eargasm alert of the new season – with many more to come. But I’m counting on YOU, the classical/jazz music nuts of Charleston, to help me out — ‘cause, try as I might, one person can’t keep up with everything. If there’s a hot classical (or jazz) event coming up that deserves […]
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!
One of the Holy City’s most delightful (and often least heralded) resident musical entities is the College of Charleston’s early […]
