The USCB Chamber Music’s third Youth Concert will provide a spectacular hour of musical adventure with the internationally acclaimed pianist, Andrew Armstrong, and eight extraordinary musical friends. Renowned for his electrifying performances from New York’s Carnegie Hall to London’s Wigmore, Armstrong is on a special mission: to share the wonder of classical music with the young explorers of the Lowcountry.
Witness a captivating world where instruments speak a universal language that knows no national boundaries. Having four violins, two violas, and two cellos on stage talking together and talking with USCB’s own concert Steinway is a rare experience. Each instrument has a story to tell, and together, they create a symphony of narratives to spark the imagination of every listener-young and old alike.
Classical music is like a brain booster, especially for kids. It enhances memory, boosts creativity, and may even make math easier. This concert is a playful blend of music education and interactive entertainment. Young folks get to ask questions, learn interesting facts about the instruments and musicians, and be amazed at how music can tell stories and arouse emotions without words.
Tickets are available now for the show at 3 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 28 at the USCB Center for the Arts. Young people get in for free, and adult tickets are $25. Go to www.uscbchambermusic.com or call Lori Jones at 843-521-3107, Monday through Friday.
