The South Carolina Philharmonic presents the inaugural performance of its new Chamber Crawl Series tomorrow night.

Beer and wine will be available for purchase. General admission tickets are only $15, and concert-goers may upgrade their experience by adding a charcuterie board by Chef Ros for $10. Doors open at 7:00 PM, and the concert starts at 7:30 PM. Tickets may still be purchased by clicking the button above or below.
The impetus for the SC Philharmonic’s Chamber Crawl Series came from the success of various community outreach events that brought classical music to non-traditional performance spaces during the orchestra’s 2020/2021 Season. Venues like The Hunter Gatherer Hangar and Historic Columbia properties provided the symphony the opportunity to take classical music from the Koger Center stage and bring it to multiple communities in the Columbia area. The Chamber Crawl Series, under the direction of the Philharmonic’s Education and Community Engagement Director Susan Cafferty, aims to broaden the service area of the organization by bringing chamber ensembles to neighborhood watering holes around the region.
The SC Philharmonic is excited to partner with Craft and Draft (Irmo) for the series’ inaugural performance due to the restaurant’s connection to the Irmo area, and its wonderful event space that will provide an excellent listening experience for patrons. The ability to provide a cash bar with expert-chosen beers and wines for the event will also serve the SC Phil’s ongoing goal to make classical musical accessible and unbutton the perception that the experience may be buttoned-up.
General admission tickets may be purchased for $15 or with a charcuterie board upgrade for $25 at scphilharmonic.com or by calling the SC Philharmonic at 803.771.7937.
