Spartanburg Philharmonic in Soulful Serenade

Spartanburg Philharmonic in Soulful Serenade

Feb 10, 2021

Composer Gustav Mahler once wrote in a letter, “My music is lived!” And it is in this spirit that our first program of 2021 was born. This February, the Spartanburg Philharmonic invites you to reinvigorate your soul with Soulful Serenade featuring pieces that tug at your heart, pull at your emotions, and even transform your spirit. Whether you seek to be inspired, transported, soothed, or embraced, Soulful Serenade will do all that and more. Get swept away by the color and vibrant energy of Jessie Montgomery’s Starburst. To be uplifted and entranced by Florence Price’s String Quartet in G . To be lulled by the tender, lyrical strains of Jules Massenet’s Meditation from Thaïs. To be romanced by Mahler’s Adagietto from Symphony no. 5. And to be utterly moved by the sheer beauty of Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings.  Join your Spartanburg Philharmonic for an escape from the everyday into the pure emotion of music.

Art Warehouse Sale

Feb 10, 2021

On any given day, Artists Collective | Spartanburg has hundreds of locally made works of art in its three-story building, everything from inexpensive handmade bookmarks to award-winning sculptures worth thousands of dollars — nearly all of it for sale. But COVID-19 has changed the making and selling of art. People are sheltering in place, not going to galleries, not buying art. Artists, too, are sheltering in place, making more art than normal. As a result there’s a glut in the market, and the Collective has more art than it has room for.

To stimulate sales and make way for new art, the Collective will have an “Art Warehouse Sale” in February 2021. Patrons can expect to see select items marked down by as much as 50 percent in Galleries II and III on the main floor. (They can also see the exhibition The Art of Survival, a collective of art that was created during the pandemic by various artists. It is being held over through the end of February in the Solomon Gallery.)

The sale will start Tuesday, Feb. 2, and will continue through Saturday, Feb. 27. The work can be seen Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. There is no entrance fee, however, everyone must abide by safety guidelines set forth to stop the COVID pandemic, including the use of facemasks and staying socially distant from each other.
