Chamber music series kicks off Feb. 14 with ‘Love Notes’
A new chamber music series at the Aiken County Historical Museum kicks off with romantic “Love Notes” for Valentine’s Day.
“Love Notes,” the first event in the Winter Colony Series, will take place at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 14 in the Banksia ballroom. The concert will feature love songs and piano pieces by classical vocalist Diane Haslam and pianist Larry Millen, and poetry read by Jim Anderson.
“Larry Millen is a wonderful pianist who spends most of his time as a doctor,” said Haslam, who is organizing the concert series. “There’s only going to be one solo piano piece in this concert, but it’s one people will love – ‘Claire de Lune’ by Debussy.”
Violinist Laura Tomlin, owner of Carolina String Academy, will also appear in the Valentine’s Day concert, according to Haslam.
Featuring works by Schumann, Faure and several Victorian composers, the program is designed to recreate a possible evening’s entertainment in an estate such as Banksia a century ago.
Haslam is a professional vocalist in the classical music world and has performed with the Netherlands Opera Company, the Cincinnati Opera, the Augusta Opera, the Augusta Choral Society and the Aiken Choral Society.
She is an adjunct professor of voice at Newberry College and gives private voice lessons at her studio, Vocal Dimensions. Full Details…..
