Sandra Nikolajevs, Chamber Music Charleston

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.
