https://t.co/2D8qUTe5jQ The newly, belatedly renovated Carolina Theatre finally staged a live concert - and a honey it was, featuring diva Renée Fleming and our Charlotte Symphony, with cinematic goodies from National Geographic. So the new place was firing on all cylinders.
Playing with a maturity beyond their tender years, The Poiesis String Quartet crafted a unique concert experience, interweaving four works by Charlotte Poet Laureate Junious 'Jay' Ward with five modern pieces dating back no further than 1934. https://t.co/Bud4sUojfz
Cynthia Farbman Harris reinvents herself and resurrects CAST (Carolina Actors Studio Theatre) in ALABASTER, one of the most immersive and technically sharp productions ever mounted at The Mint Museum. A shoestring-budget marvel. https://t.co/2aMmwn7w44
