2012 Upcoming Events

The Greater Summerville Music Forum assists in the promotion of our partners, their supporter's events, and other public events to encourage music within the community. We know you will want to know about and enjoy those listed below:

*Saturday, February 11th, 7:30 pm at Gaillard Auditorium, 77 Calhoun Street, Charleston 29401
The Charleston Symphony Orchestra presents the premier performance of Dr. Edward Hart's three part concerto for violin and orchestra entitled "Under Indigo Sky"" featuring violinist Yuriy Bekker concertmaster of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra. "Under an Indigo Sky" is a love letter to South Carolina that carries listeners through the Lowcountry, the midlands and the mountains of the Upstate — each a region that has influenced Hart since birth. He wrote the piece specifically for the talented Bekker. Interestingly, such artistic collaboration and mutual respect are also emblematic of a new closeness between the College of Charleston and the Charleston Symphony Orchestra.
