Micah McLaurin will play a free youth concert at USCB

A recent study asked Americans if they had attended a live classical music concert within the last twelve months; 8.8% replied, “Yes.” I tremble to think what the percentage would have been if the question were asked only in rural South Carolina and only to Americans under 25. 

There is reason to hope that the percentage will be higher than we might expect if the question is asked after March 25, 2018, when USCB is presenting Micah McLaurin to play Mozart, Chopin, Lady Gaga and others and to talk about being a classical pianist in 2018. 

“A petite piano powerhouse” and an “inspirational pianist,” that’s how Ronée Boyce has been described. She is quickly establishing herself not just as an inspirational, but also as an international artist.
