Symphonic Splendor — And a Choice Cello, to Boot
February 5, 2008 – 11:13 am
After hearing super-cellist Robert deMaine in Friday’s Charleston Music Fest event at the College, I was doubly determined to make it to Saturday evening’s Charleston Symphony concert at the Gaillard (the latest in the Masterworks series) – where deMaine showed us what he could do with orchestral backup.
But first, we heard some stirring sounds by […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Eargasm Alert
October 2, 2007 – 8:39 pm
I regret having allowed myself to be distracted last week from my self-imposed duty to tell you about several promising musical happenings that are now history. Like the September 30 evensong service at Grace Church and organist Bill Gudger’s organ recital. My apologies to the artists. I didn’t even toot the CSO’s horn for their […]
Janet Newcomb to be CSO’s new Executive Director
August 23, 2007 – 11:55 pm
Please pardon my long silence: I’ve been busy writing lately about non-musical matters (like global warming: watch for it in an imminent issue of the City Paper) – but this musical news cries out to be blogged about. It should serve as an auspicious occasion to mark the re-launch of Eargasms as Chucktown’s first-ever year-round […]
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 […]
Eargasm Alerts – LOTS of ‘Em
– 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 […]
