Chamber Music Charleston continues the “Classical Kids Concert
Series” on
Saturday, February 6, 2010 at 1pm
at Circular Congregational Church, 150 Meeting Street, downtown
Charleston. This
series brings together live classical music and great story telling
in a relaxed, family-friendly environment.
The concert
includes an introduction to the instruments of a string quartet
followed by selections of familiar songs arranged.
The highlight of the concert is Chamber Music Charleston’s
brand new adaptation of Margot Theis Raven’s critically acclaimed
children’s story Mercedes and
the Chocolate Pilot.
The string quartet plays music of Johannes Brahms and
illustrations by Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen are projected onto a
screen as an actor brings to life the incredible story of the Berlin
Airlift and one special U.S. Pilot – Lt. Gail Halvorsen – who
brought hope and joy to countless German children.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children 3 and above and free for children under 3. Tickets will be available for purchase at the door.
Chamber Music Charleston is supported by the Boeing Company Charitable Trust, the Donnelley Foundation, the South Carolina Arts Commission in addition to donations from private individuals and foundations.
