how to get to Carnegie Hall

Under the direction of Yuriy Bekker, conductor of the College’s orchestra, these artistic powerhouses will pay tribute to Charleston’s exceptional musical legacy and connections to New York City. The College’s ensemble will play Antonín Dvořák’s New World Symphony Finale, which premiered in Carnegie Hall; professor of music Yiorgos Vassilandonakis’s Corsaro, which will have its New York premiere; and former CofC music professor Trevor Weston’s Subwaves. A Charleston Concerto by music professor Edward Hart ’88 will be performed by the Charleston Symphony.
To celebrate the debut of the CofC orchestra at Carnegie Hall, a pre-concert alumni happy hour will be held in the heart of New York City, and on the eve of the concert, a lavish College of Charleston/Charleston Symphony reception will be held at the University Club, a premier social club.
Many thanks to Bekker, the Charleston Symphony, the Charleston Symphony Youth Orchestra and the College’s donors, including Frank and Peggy Oldham, for making this event possible.
