new music

With its 22nd season underway, the Southeastern Piano Festival is once again drawing a range of acclaimed performers and up-and-coming teenage competitors to the University of South Carolina for a week of concerts, master classes, and other events.

At the start of his first season as the festival's Director of Chamber Music, cellist and composer Paul Wiancko seeks a meeting place of "musical universes" at Charleston's Dock Street Theatre.

Musicians from the University of South Carolina's Wind Ensemble and Experimental Music Workshop are set to sonically transform the museum for the premiere of a "poetic recreation of natural environments" by composer Michael Pisaro-Liu.

Mak Grgic brings impeccable technique and a deeply personal touch to his playing. Both are on full display in his Grammy-nominated albums Mak|Bach and A Night in Upper Town: The Music of Zoran Krajacic.

Wonder, environmentalism, and a deep appreciation of the expressive and technical possibilities of the piano shape the South Carolina composer's three-part series, receiving its full premiere tonight in Columbia.

Claire Bryant’s technical prowess and deeply affecting expressivity as a soloist are on full display in Whole Heart. But the performer and UofSC professor is quick to point out that her first album is as much a collaborative effort as it is a personal labor of love.

Inspired by the Charleston-area legend of early 19th-century convicts John and Lavinia Fisher, Jeremy Turner's Six-Mile House premieres in Beaufort on Sunday, April 10th, with a second performance in Columbia on April 12th.

Series artistic director Mike Harley reflects on Southern Exposure’s beginnings, development, and role in Columbia—and shares why he's excited about the Bang on a Can All-Stars performance that will conclude its 20th anniversary season Thursday evening.
