Baroque 'n' Glass

Dates: Oct. 2-4, 2019

@ the Chapman Cultural Center (see map below)
200 East Saint John St, Spartanburg, SC

Music Folders:

The librarian emailed everyone a PDF with all of the music on Thursday, Aug. 1. If you did not see the email, or you need us to resend your part, please contact the librarian, Bob Borden, at: spolibrarian@gmail.com

This year, we are trying something new on our Espresso series. Rather than mailing folders, we are sending each musician PDFs of the music well in advance, then providing high quality, 9”x13” print outs at the first rehearsal.

Musicians may also pick up these printed parts before the first rehearsal at the Spartanburg Philharmonic offices (during regular office hours). For special circumstances, please contact us ASAP so that we can get the music to you in a timely manner.

Because we’re trying something new - we would love your feedback on this process, and how we might streamline it in the future!

 

Concert Attire:

Our Espresso concerts are a little different than our Classics series. Rather than a prescribed (formal) dress code, concert attire is either discussed at the first rehearsal or via email prior to the first rehearsal (depending on the schedule). Most often, men wear solid-colored, button-down shirts (not matching) with dark pants, and women wear something comparable. However, each show is unique, and the musicians work together with the Artistic Director to create a suitable mood/atmosphere.

There are, of course, a few practical restrictions (below), but for the most part, musicians are encouraged to bring their personalities to the fore!

Restrictions (most concerts):

  • NO tuxedos/white tie & tails

  • NO concert black

  • NO formal, stuffy nonsense - these concerts are supposed to be fun!

Restrictions (all concerts):

  • No sandals, sneakers or other informal footwear, no open toe shoes or sandals.

  • No flashy jewelry (metal jewelry is particularly distracting due to stage lighting).

  • No alarm/beeper watches, cell phones or pagers; all cell phone ringers and alarms on watches and will be turned off during rehearsals and concerts.

  • PLEASE refrain from the use of perfumes, colognes, aftershaves, hairsprays or other heavily scented products in order that neighboring Musicians may play in comfort, and without allergic reactions.
