From our friends at the Arts Center of Kershaw County …
The Arts Center of Kershaw County is proud to announce a performance by the Congaree Trio entitled Spring Romance. Spring Romance is described by the group as "a luscious program of romantic music for strings and piano." The program features an incredible mix of pieces by Lili Boulanger, Felix Mendelssohn, and Antonin Dvorak.
Made up of USC School of Music professors Phillip Bush (piano), Ari Streisfeld (violin), and Camden-native Claire Bryant (cello), this trio is a testament to the world-class talent that can be found right here in South Carolina.
In this performance, they will be joined by guest violinist Dan Sweaney. Sweaney is a renowned violist and educator with an extensive background in music education and performance, having studied and performed across the United States and Europe. Sweaney has performed with the Camerata Salzburg at major venues and festivals globally, and has collaborated with violinist Annette-Barbara Vogel, earning critical acclaim for their recordings. Currently, he serves as an Associate Professor of Viola at the University of South Carolina.
