SUMMARY:AMOUR! An Evening of French Music
DESCRIPTION:Presented by South Carolina Chamber Music Festival \nKirstin Chavez\, mezzo-soprano \nPaolo André Gualdi\, piano \nVeteran mezzo-soprano Kirstin Chávez’s fruitful international singing career has brought her around the world many times over\, earning her continuous acclaim on some of opera’s most beloved stages.  Described by Opera News as “the Carmen of a lifetime” and recognized as “one of the most definitive Carmens of all time\,” Chávez also brings dramatic intensity\, natural sensuality\, and a nuanced acting range to some of the most iconic trouser roles\, including Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier and Orfeo in Orfeo ed Euridice\, both of which she presented at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.  Her experience now delivers her as a formidable presence in other powerful characters such as Dalila in Samson et Dalila\, La Zia Principessa of Suor Angelica\, and Ježibaba in Rusalka\, among others. \n7:30pm Recital \nBlack Box Theatre \n

SUMMARY:FMU Percussion Ensemble Performance
DESCRIPTION:FMU Percussion Ensemble\nDr. Brian Jones\, director\nFMU Department of Fine Arts\nBlackbox Theatre\, Performing Arts Center/Downtown Florence\n7:30 pm Wednesday\, November 12\, 2025\nThe Francis Marion University Percussion Ensemble is a contemporary chamber ensemble that explores the world of percussion from an improvisation-based approach. We model our performance methodology and musical ideology on the performance practice of drummer/composer Max Roach’s percussion ensemble M’Boom\, especially in their focus on jazz and non-Western musical cultures as a touchstone for aesthetic inspiration. We employ improvisation as a key mode of praxis—both in terms of theory and practice—and special focus is given to compositions invented during collective improvisation exercises. Additionally\, we explore “minimalism\,” “game\,” and “open score” notation/compositional systems\, while also examining the ways in which poetry and literature can be interpreted in a musical setting. \nTickets are available to FMU students\, faculty\, and staff at no charge upon showing an FMU ID. Tickets to the general public are $10\, as space allows. The FMU PAC Ticket Office is located at 201 South Dargan Street and is open Monday through Friday\, 12:00pm – 5:00pm\, or by calling 843-661-4444.
