Last night, I caught Newman/Brahms featuring The Spoleto Festival Orchestra and the Grammy nominated Imani Winds (pictured right) at the Gaillard Auditorium.
The first work, David Newman’s Concerto for Winds was a modern and interesting showcase for the talented quintet. I especially enjoyed the jazzy/cool clarinet movement. Newman himself was on hand to witness the performance.
The group will perform today at 5 pm at the College of Charleston, and they are worth watching.
Next was the Brahms first Symphony, beautifully played by the orchestra under the direction of Spoleto Festival USA Music Director Emmanuel Villaume to rousing applause.
It was another wonderful night of music.
