November 2010 With the Charleston Symphony Orchestra in reorganizational limbo, we recommend, for your classical music fix, a busy chamber group, world-class pianists, students to watch, a couple of community orchestras, and a new series aimed at visitors but great for local ears |

November 2010 The Lowcountry, with its devil-may-care spirit of island life, has evolved into a hotbed of jam-band activity, where improvisation and the extended solo rule. For evidence, look no further than the psychedelic stylings of the following local bands who carry the genre-bending torch in between sold-out visits from Widespread Panic, Phish, and Dave Matthews Band—all in the same calendar year. Jerry Garcia would be proud (and, who knows, may be hiding out on Folly Beach). |

November 2010 Though the Lowcountry may be a few latitudes north of the Caribbean, the sprightly ping of steel drums and other island sounds specific to reggae music can be heard year round in our locale. Three bands at the vanguard of the “irie” movement keep the flavor fresh and vibrant. |
