The South Carolina Philharmonic is bringing live symphonic music to Columbia with two special performances at the Koger Center for the Arts this weekend:
-
Beethoven & Blue Jeans – March 29 at 7:30 PM
-
Family Time with the Phil – March 30 at 3:00 PM (free admission)
Beethoven & Blue Jeans
A long-standing favorite, Beethoven & Blue Jeans blends casual attire with classical excellence. This year’s concert features Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3, “Eroica,” Camille Saint-Saëns’ Piano Concerto No. 2, and Fang Man’s Noir. The 2023 Southeastern Piano Festival winner Noah Kim will perform as the featured soloist.
Tickets range from $36 to $83 and can be purchased online at scphilharmonic.com or by calling the Koger Box Office at 803-251-2222.
Family Time with the Phil
This one-hour sensory-friendly concert on March 30 is designed for all ages and is completely free to attend—no reservations required. Families can enjoy live orchestral music in a relaxed environment, with opportunities to sing, dance, and interact.
Before the concert, guests can explore the instrument petting zoo, meet off-duty service dogs from PAALS (Palmetto Animal Assisted Life Services), and pick up sensory-friendly items like fidget spinners and headphones.
Both events are supported by sponsors including Pat and Tom Fortson, Terminix, Noah Kim’s sponsor Joseph Bruce, and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the SC Arts Commission, and more.
