Ensemble 4.1 is a “piano windtet” brought to life by four wind soloists from top German orchestras and one unmistakable pianist. Their exceptional communicative power and intoxicating on-stage presence are repeatedly praised by critics and have become the hallmark of Ensemble 4.1.
In addition to the original masterworks for this instrumentation by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven, the ensemble is devoted to discovering rarely played compositions from the Romantic and Modern periods. After many years of silence, composers like Walther Gieseking, Theodor Verhey, Herrmann Zilcher, and Arne Oldberg are again being performed for an enthusiastic public.
Since its inception in 2013, Ensemble 4.1 has crisscrossed the globe and performed recitals in China, Pakistan, Austria, Germany, Algeria, Canada, and the United States.

Join us on Tuesday, February 4th to hear Diane Chamberlain discuss her newest release, Big Lies in a Small Town.
This bestselling author of The Dream Daughter and The Silent Sister is back with a new story of secrets, lies, and mystery in a small southern town. Big Lies in a Small Town tells the story of two different women from two different time periods, both desperate for escape, opportunity, and connection in their own unique ways. What follows is an intriguing mystery surrounding a seemingly innocent mural in a small town post office…
Publishers Weekly says “Chamberlain’s depictions of creative beauty and perseverance across time and in the face of inevitable obstacles will keep readers turning the pages.”
We’re delighted that Diane will be on hand to talk, answer questions, and sign books, all while enjoying a delicious meal at Soby’s (which is hardly ever open for lunch).
Tickets are $45 and include a three course lunch and a copy of Big Lies in a Small Town.

In the throes of unprecedented challenges to privacy, truth, and personal expression, AQUILA THEATRE brings 1984, George Orwell’s cautionary novel, to the stage.
As our modern world grapples with the threats and benefits of technological integration, AQUILA THEATRE’s production of 1984 provides a space to appreciate the value of individual thought – an evocative and timely narrative of personal freedom against political repression. Today, Orwell’s prescient story resonates around the globe as individuals, systems, and governments clash.
Written in 1944 near the end of World War II, 1984 depicts a society controlled by a perfectly totalitarian government bent on repressing all subversive tendencies. “Big Brother” is always watching and technology is wielded as a weapon to inundate citizens with propaganda and to monitor thoughts and actions. Imagined before the existence of computers, this dystopian future explores the power of technology as a mental manipulator and source of curated information.
The resurgence of 1984 marks a widespread desire to understand the present moment by looking back… How far are we from realizing Orwell’s nightmare? Are we already there? Can there be more than one truth, more than one set of facts?

M. Judson invites you to hear the powerful story of Furman Alum and Greenville resident, Steve Grant, on Tuesday, February 4th at 7:00pm.
Steve’s book, Don’t Forget Me, is a frank discussion of how addiction can affect every aspect of a family’s life, as he opens up about the loss of his two sons.
More on Steve’s work from the Greenville Journal:
“After losing both of his sons to drug overdoses, Grant started Chris and Kelly’s HOPE Foundation in Greenville to combat substance abuse and addiction. The foundation provides financial assistance to programs that treat teens and young adults.
Chris and Kelly’s HOPE Foundation has provided financial support to The Family Effect, an organization that works to reduce addiction as a leading cause of family collapse, over the past several years. Grant also served as co-chair on The Family Effect’s board of directors in 2019, and is still an active board member today.”
A portion of all sales during the book launch will be donated to The Family Effect.
Based on the notion that entrepreneurs discover solutions and network over a million cups of coffee, the Kauffman Foundation developed 1 Million Cups – a free program designed to educate, engage, and connect entrepreneurs with their communities.
Every month, entrepreneurs present their startup companies to their communities and learn how their community can help support their business to flourish.
The exhibit features selected pieces from one of the world’s finest collections of over 600 historic brass instruments from the Joe and Joella Utley Collection of Spartanburg, SC. In collaboration with the National Music Museum (NMM) in Vermillion, South Dakota, which will soon house the Utley Collection, Dr. Sabine Klaus, curator of the Utley Collection, worked closely with Tom Strange, Curator and Artistic Director of the Carolina Music Museum to prepare the exhibit.
