The 2021 Burnaway Reader

Across three thematic sections and two artist projects, Burnaway’s 2021 Reader, Treasure looks at cultural memory, myth, and the way they have shaped our South. The first section, Word of Mouth, explores the oral traditions and patterns of language that have shaped cultural imaginings of the U.S. South, extending into music, poetry, legends, and audio archives. Nodes and Networks maps the physical and digital systems of people and information that define, divide, and parse our cultural categories, with a particular emphasis on rural queer spaces and radio waves. The final section, Belief and Fiction, demonstrates how we create spirituality and make new worlds through stories. – from Burnaway

Symphony Tickets

The merry overture to the Barber of Seville provides the perfect opening for our concert season. This early 19th Century piece has endured as a popular favorite with its fast-moving strings, intriguing winds, and changing tempos.

Four wind soloists will shine with Concerto Provencal from Venezuelan-born French composer, Reynaldo Hahn. Written in 1945 near the end of his career the music is sunny, optimistic, and distinguished by the melodious flow and Romantic flair for which Hahn is known. – From the Coastal Symphony of Georgia, January 24, 2022
