USC Beaufort Center for the Arts presents the return of the Listen on the Lawn Concert Series beginning at 6 p.m., Sunday, April 24 with the Beaufort Symphony Youth Orchestra.
Bring a chair or blanket, a picnic or snacks and beverages (if you choose) and enjoy a beautiful afternoon under the oaks, listening to BSYO’s beautiful sounds. Listen on the Lawn Concert Series continues May 15, with vocalist Gwen Yvette and June 5 with local favorite The Cluster Shucks band.
The Beaufort Symphony Orchestra is not only a performing organization, but also provides opportunities for young musicians to develop their talents as members of the Beaufort Symphony Youth Orchestra. In the spring of 1999, Frederick Devyatkin realized a dream of forming a youth orchestra in Beaufort. With the backing of the Orchestra Board and widespread parental and community support, a nucleus of young players presented their first concert. The Youth Orchestra has grown to 40 plus members, many of whom donate time and talent for fundraising events sponsored by the orchestra.
The CFA Lawn will open at 5:30 p.m., on April 24, with the performance starting at 6 p.m., tickets are $10 a person – children younger than 12 are free. Tickets may be purchased in advance at www.uscbcenterforthearts.com or by calling 843-521-4145. In case of inclement weather, the performance will be moved into the CFA theatre.
