Music Medley at Martin Gallery
acrylic by Gilles Charest
THERE IS SOMETHING about combining classical music and fine art that brings out the best in both. The syncopation of visual and audio impressions. The mutual sharpening of eye and ear. And simply the elegance of two rich experiences at the same time that enables you to savor the moment in a deeper way.
That’s what’s on tap this coming Sunday at the Martin Gallery, at 18 Broad Street, when Chamber Music Charleston presents another of its vintage classical concerts.
In a program always tastefully selected by Sandra Nikolajevs, CMC will perform a string quartet by Mozart and a work for flute and strings by Arthur Foote, a little known but highly accomplished American composer from the late nineteenth century. According to Wikipedia, “He excelled in writing for strings, and his style, firmly placed in the Romantic tradition, is characterized by lyrical melodies, expressive phrasing, and clear formal structure.”
After the concert, you can enjoy a light reception and peruse a superb variety of artwork that includes paintings, sculpture, photography, ceramics, jewelry, and art glass.
