Welcome to the inaugural season of the Chamber Music Society of the Carolinas
formerly the Swannanoa Chamber Music Festival.
Our upcoming season in July 2019 will showcase some of the highest forms of artistry through music. Our wonderful string quartets, the Jasper String Quartet, and the Tesla String Quartet will be returning. For our opening concert, we welcome award-winning Horszowski trio, hailed ‘impressive’ and ‘powerhouse’ by the New York and Los Angeles Times. Wonderful innovative and compelling programs are in store for the season, including one of the great masterpieces of chamber music, beloved by audience and performers alike- the Mendelssohn’s Octet for Strings.
We look forward to sharing yet another spectacular season of music with you. Plan on joining us to get a taste of the musical mastery we bring to the beautiful Carolinas.

Brevard Music Center (BMC) will present Raiders of the Lost Ark in Concert at its open-air, lakeside Whittington-Pfohl Auditorium (WPA). Relive the magic of Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster 1981 adventure film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, with John Williams’ epic score performed live to picture by a full symphony orchestra, under the direction of conductor Nicholas Buc. Movie screens will be situated on both the WPA main stage as well as the WPA lawn for this BMC concert. Popcorn, beverages, and casual concessions fare will also be available, plus there will be an appearance by Indiana Jones at the BMC photo booth that evening! (*The 8:30 PM timing reflects a special late start due to the movie.)
“The film that gave the world one of its greatest movie heroes, Indiana Jones, is back and better than ever before—with live orchestra!” said Brevard Music Center President & CEO Mark Weinstein. “Raiders of the Lost Ark in Concert, with its glorious score by John Williams, is the perfect way to introduce classical music to a young audience and one of the many family-friendly events featured at our 2019 summer festival season. Please join us for an unforgettable evening of film, music, and memories!”
A smash hit upon its release, Raiders of the Lost Ark launched the popular Indiana Jones series and helped turn lead Harrison Ford into a film icon. Described as “one of the most deliriously funny, ingenious, and stylish movies ever made,” Raiders of the Lost Ark has remained an iconic favorite of fans for its thrills, chills, and great adventure.
