March 3 in the Sottile Theatre, the award-winning Charleston County School of the Arts Sinfonietta performed with virtuoso violinist Francisco Fullana in a program of music by Holst, Shostakovich, Montgomery, and Fritz Kreisler. The performance culminated Fullana's week-long residency with the SOA Sinfonietta, a part of Chamber Music Charleston’s Youth Chamber Music Initiative.
Oh, and it was funded in part by a South Carolina Arts Commission Term Arts Education Project grant. That grant category is currently open, closing March 28, to fund like projects. (Hint, hint.)
Here's a sample of the finished product, because you simply must watch:

Hub Quick Hits: S.C. State Parks’ 2022 AiR’s review year
Every year the South Carolina State Parks Service hosts an artist-in-residence program.
In return for a week-long stay at a state park cabin, each artist produces an original piece of artwork that is presented to the park. This competitive program attracts outstanding artists from all over the state and beyond, and provides artists with the opportunity to gain inspiration from the natural and cultural resources of the South Carolina State Parks.
Today, the parks released a retrospective of all 23 of the 2022 artists, which The Hub HIGHLY recommends you review right here.
