 Chamber Orchestra

The Chamber Orchestra will perform a Symphony of Diversity concert.

If you enjoy live music, you will LOVE the next few days in University City.

We just learned that Thursday’s rain-postponed free performance of The Voltage Brothers at The Shoppes at University Place has been shifted to May 3.

Meanwhile, UNC Charlotte’s musicians and singers will perform four concerts in six nights, starting tonight, April 27.

 

Special themes and great venues

University Place lakefront

An enthusiastic crowd packs the University Place lakefront on April 19 for Too Much Sylvia.

The Voltage Brothers will appear lakeside near the main bridge at the University Place lake. Is there a better place to enjoy music outdoors on a beautiful spring evening?

All campus performances will take place in Belk Theater at Robinson Hall. This an acoustic gem of a hall, with great seats throughout.

The university’s Wind Ensemble perform a program entitled “Angels and Demons.”

The Jazz Ensemble will offer works by Cole Porter, Billy Strayhorn and others.

The Chamber Orchestra will celebrate the many voices of the Americas in its second “Symphony of Diversity” concert.
