#CHARLESTONSYMPHONY
Happy Halloween from the CSO! 🎭 We had @kyletlane, our General Manager and stage-prop extraordinaire, pull out some of our old performance costumes for the occasion. What’s even more thrilling than Kyle in costume is the hauntingly good ticket deal we’re offering for Symphonie Fantastique!
Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique is a thrilling journey that mirrors the artist’s wild dreams featuring witches, monsters, and broader eerie themes. Today through November 4 buy one ticket to this enchanting January 10 & 11 show and GET ONE 50% OFF! Use the link in our bio to get your tickets and enter code WITCHES at checkout.🔮

Did you know that Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings—being performed by the CSO Nov. 8 & 9—has a large pop culture footprint? The piece has been featured in numerous movies and TV shows such as Platoon, Seinfeld, and The Simpsons and was played at the funerals of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Albert Einstein, and John F. Kennedy. Barber’s masterpiece has even been celebrated across other musical genres, including DJ Tiësto’s lively remix heard here—a version that has garnered an astonishing 131 Million views.
Come join us November 8 and 9 at the Charleston Gaillard Center to experience this famous piece in person. For a limited time, we’re offering a $15 orchestra seat special! (Fees and exclusions apply). Enter SANCTUARY at checkout and we will see you there.

You heard it folks! Chris Komer—principal horn of the New Jersey Symphony—said, “I don’t know how much Charleston knows this, but this is a world-class orchestra.” 🎻🎶🎺
The Charleston Symphony is happy to have principal tubist of the New Jersey Symphony Derek Fenstermacher and principal horn of the NJSO Chris Komer with us for this week’s Masterworks performances. We asked Chris and Derek what makes the CSO special and why they like coming here to play with us.
🌟 Derek, who is joining us for the first time, mentioned how much he appreciates being able to contribute to the stellar art scene here in Charleston.
🌟 Chris—with a shout out to our incredible Personnel Manager Tom Joyce—noted that once musicians play with the CSO, they just keep coming back. We’re a fun and exciting orchestra, according to him. (We don’t disagree).
We also asked both musicians what food recommendations they had for other guest performers who come to Charleston and they said:
•Rodney Scott’s bbq 🍗
•Delaney Oyster House 🦪
•Marble & Rye 🍕
If you missed last night’s performance, be sure to come to the Gaillard tonight (Friday, October 12) at 7:30 to listen to Derek and Chris and the rest of our world-class orchestra.
