Union Symphony is pleased this season to partner with the Union County Youth Ballet for their twenty-fourth production of The Nutcracker by Piotr Tchaikovsky. Based on the story by E. T. A. Hoffmann and choreographed by Marius Petipa, this ballet has been delighting audiences since 1892. The magical story of young Clara and the toys under her family’s Christmas Tree—The Nutcracker in battle with the Mouse King and their travel to the Land of Sweets—includes some of the best-loved melodies ever written. In Tchaikovsky’s colorful score (“Waltz of the Flowers”, “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”), both the celesta and bass clarinet were introduced to the symphony orchestra.

Members of the USC Flute Studio present a musical soundscape to the museum exhibit “A Compass to Guide; South Carolina Cabinetmakers Today.” The encounter with any artistic form offers an alternative portal into a collective understanding of culture and history. Just like cabinetmakers worked to supply their surrounding communities with furniture and implements needed in everyday life, musicians bring communities together for entertainment. The concert highlights various elements of the artisans’ works, including the element of wood, and presents musical styles from four centuries.
The CSO Chorus with guest soloists, Cheyanne Coss and Jeffrey Gates, join the orchestra to perform Johannes Brahms’ A German Requiem, last performed in 2011 by the CSO Chorus and CSO in memory of long-time music director David Stahl.

Franz Schubert’s Symphony in B minor, known as “Unfinished”, is finished in the best sense as it is exquisitely balanced, broadly conceived, and gloriously inspired.
