Chamber Concert – Spotlight: String Quartet
Nov 15 @ 7:00 pm
Edward R. Driggers City of Greer Center for the Arts

In the intimate setting of a small music hall, the Foothills String Quartet takes the stage (2 violins, viola and cello) – a smooth blend of sound that is as delicious as a café latte on a cold morning. The Foothills String Quartet will delight your ears, spark your brain cells, and awaken your inner diva. With no conductor, Chamber Music players respond to each other in real time, listening, reflecting and adapting. And the audience gets to listen in on this intimate conversation.

Everyone is invited to visit the art displayed at the Gallery before or after the concert. Concert, art gallery and parking – absolutely FREE!
