Classical Music in Hartsville

Quick Observation --

Last week in Hartsville, S.C. there was enough classical music to program an entire evening on National Public Radio. On Tuesday evening the Faculty Recital by Dr. Jun Matsuo and Professor Serena Hill; then a Community Concert piano recital on Thursday evening by Tian Ying and then on Sunday evening the Coker Singers, joined by professional soloists and a Chamber Orchestra performed REQUIEM by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart under the direction of Dr. Will Carswell, professor of music at Coker College.

Hartsville is a small city that we bill as Hartsville, The Art of Good Living where we suggest that you can always "expect pleasant surprises." On many fronts, we think there is a great deal of evidence that will show most people this is not hype or puffery, Hartsville has a great doing going on in many areas from arts to sports, to shopping, to just plain community.

It is small city America and those of us who have discovered this place, our place, remind ourselves to be Thankful in this season of Thanksgiving.
