Chamber Music Charleston at Piccolo Spoleto: Women Composers of the Baroque & Early Classical Era

Chamber Music Charleston is pleased to return to the Piccolo Spoleto Festival for two distinctive programs of music, May 31 and June 7. Each program takes place in the historic ballroom of South Carolina Society Hall and begins with a light reception in the antechamber. Each concert is approximately 55 minutes long. Tickets are open seating: $5 for students, $25 for general admission, available online at chambermusiccharleston.org and citypapertickets.com. Join us before each performance for a light reception. Box Office opens 45 minutes prior to each performance.
The first concert is Forgotten Voices: Celebrating Women Composers of the Baroque and Early Classical Era; performed by Regina Helcher Yost, flute; Kelly Mozeik, oboe; Sandra Nikolajevs, bassoon; and Julia Harlow, harpsichord. The world has celebrated the music of composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach and Antonio Vivaldi for centuries, but what about the female composers who were writing equally glorious music during the Baroque and early Classical era? Chamber Music Charleston curates a special program that explores the compositions of these lesser-known composers, performed alongside their male contemporaries.
