EXHIBITION: CONSTRUCT & ASSEMBLE
February 2 - March 2 - FREE
|
Printmaker Chloe Alexander will feature her latest work in the Milliken Art Gallery in CONSTRUCT & ASSEMBLE. The exhibition is a visual case study that explores social conditioning from the everyday perspective of “the other;” in this case, a Black person living in the American South. “My work is a form of story-telling. Inspired by the rich, high contrast illustrations found in illuminated texts, graphic novels, and children’s fairy tales, the often-whimsical imagery and characters that I create are meant to provoke a sense of nostalgia and familiarity within the viewer,” states Alexander.

Spartanburg Philharmonic: Heart, Soul & Cello
February 11 at 7:00 pm

Brought to life by guest conductor, Nadège Foofat, each note weaves its way into your soul, captivating and moving you to places that defy description. In fact, we dare you not to cry! And when played by the equally dazzling and expressive soloist, Claire Bryant, checking your own emotions will be no small feat. And while Elgar’s lush piece is the capstone, we begin with Jennifer Higdon’s soaringly tender and contemplative blue cathedral which will set your soul to singing. The program concludes with Shumann’s illustrative and idyllic Symphony No. 3.
Pre-Concert Reception at Wilson Hall
Guests attending the performance of Heart, Soul & Cello can enjoy a complimentary reception on February 11 at 6:00 pm with beverages (wine and beer included for guests 21 years and older) while chatting with fellow concertgoers, mingling with members of the Spartanburg Philharmonic Board of Directors, and maybe even meeting the evening’s guest conductor.
