Live at the CMH: Symphonic Swing – Jazz Meets the Classics

Although Jazz and Classical music are different in many ways, the border between the two genres is a fluid one. America’s Classical music (Jazz) lives and breathes spontaneity while being contained within the technical mastery of a composition. With “Symphonic Swing – Jazz Meets the Classics,” your Charleston Jazz Orchestra will bring the world of improvisation and swing to notable Classical compositions, bridging the gap, bending the genres, and introducing the styles of Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk and Billie Holiday to Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Beethoven to name a few. Performances in Charleston, North Charleston, and online.

Live at Charleston Music Hall, May 22. Two sets: 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Tickets: $10-$62; senior (65+), military, and student rates available. Your Live at the CMH ticket includes access to the Virtual Performance.
