On Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2025, the College of Charleston Orchestra will have the experience of a lifetime performing on one of the most prestigious stages in the world — Carnegie Hall. For the first time, EIGHT Citadel cadets will be playing with the CofC Orchestra and be a part of this incredible performance. Their performance, together with performances by the Charleston Symphony and Charleston Symphony Youth Orchestra, will be a memorable event on a national level.
Under the direction of Yuriy Bekker, conductor of the College’s orchestra, these artistic powerhouses will pay tribute to Charleston’s exceptional musical legacy and connections to New York City. The CofC/Citadel ensemble will play Antonín Dvořák’s New World Symphony Finale, which premiered at Carnegie Hall in 1893; Professor of Music Yiorgos Vassilandonakis’s Corsaro, which will have its New York premiere; and former CofC music professor Trevor Weston’s Subwaves. CofC Music Professor Edward Hart’s A Charleston Concerto, will be performed by the Charleston Symphony.
