2007/08 Arts Council Season Outlook
The Kiawah Arts Council is preparing another exciting round of events for the 2007/08 Season. Five series are planned, providing a variety of performances with something to appeal to each sector of our varied and discriminating audience.
These diverse series encompass Orchestral, Chamber, Jazz, Ballet, Women in Music and a Sandcastle Potpourri. For example, the Charleston Ballet Theatre will perform classical ballet and modern dance in two events. The Charleston Symphony Orchestra will present a tour de force classical concert and in a second event, The Messiah along with the full CSO Choir.
The Chamber Series will include Diana Cohen and Friends doing "Brahms," Lee Chin Siow on violin with French horn and piano and an eclectic group of musicians/vocalists from the College of Charleston.
In the Jazz arena we are planning three or four events. One will host the Tommy Gill Quartet with vocalist Bobbi Storm in a cabaret setting. Two others are under discussion and may include Quentin Baxter.
Our Women in Music Series will feature an all-woman Big Band to dance to in a night club setting. At the other end of the musical spectrum, two operatic vocalists and piano accompanist will regale with light opera and Broadway show tunes. We are also planning on hosting "Detroit Women," a jazz group.
Once again our Sandcastle events will be broad in scope ranging from ballads and blues to French Chanteuse to an Art/Painting demonstration and lecture. Finally, we will host another Holiday Festival Dinner at the River Course Clubhouse, and if all goes well, a Gullah Festival next spring.
Keep tuned-in to the Town's website and Town Notes and be sure to get your tickets often and early. For more information on these events, please contact Town Hall at (843) 768-9166. Complentary tickets for all events are available at Town Hall closer to the event dates.
