Description

On Monday, March 2 at 7:00 p.m. at the Old Exchange Building (122 East Bay Street) Chamber Music Charleston presents a lecture concert exploring the early years of the Saint Cecilia Society, from its founding in 1766 through the Revolutionary War. CMC President and Artistic Director Sandra Nikolajevs will be joined by historian Dr. Nicholas Butler, one of Charleston’s foremost scholars, for a discussion of the society’s origins and cultural significance. Musical selections will be performed by a string quartet and include movements from Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet, Op. 74, No. 3 (“Rider”) and Gaetano Franceschini’s Trio Sonata No. 6, offering a glimpse into the repertoire heard in Charleston during the late 18th century.
