CHAMBER MUSIC CHARLESTON’s second annual “Mozart in the South” festival is coming September 9–12.

Along with a chamber night, an orchestral evening, and the finale at Middleton Place, there will be the popular Little Mozart Circus at Francis Marion Square (with 14 tents) where children of all ages can handle instruments, get a lesson, play on stage, or just watch and listen. Four days of music appreciation, education, and inspiration.

We sat down recently with CMC director Sandra Nikolajevs to hear first-hand what to expect. In these 5 short videos, she talks about the festival, two of the featured works, her guest conductor and soloists, and the children’s circus—a special passion of hers where she offers great insights into the value of kids learning music.

A Solution for This Country

“I want to see us begin again. Let’s get out of these wars and come on back here. Take all the money we are spending elsewhere, trying to control other places, and start to rebuild the structure. Put money and prestige back into the schools. Start teaching kids in day care. Scientists tell us the earlier kids start to learn, the more capable they are of learning, and we are not taking advantage of that. We start there and we put ourselves back in the running.”
