Carolina Music Museum Ranked Third as One of the 10Best New Museums in the United States

After four weeks of national voting in the USA TODAY 10Best Readers' Choice Awards, Greenville’s Carolina Music Museum on Heritage Green ranked third in the country when voting closed on February 28th. Nominees for the category were chosen by a panel of relevant experts which include a combination of editors from USA TODAY; editors from https://buff.ly/2wWCoXi; relevant expert contributors; and sources for both these media and other Gannett properties who owns USA TODAY.

This is the second major recognition the museum has received since opening in 2018 when Architectural Digest listed it as one of leading museums that would open that year. The museum currently houses one of the finest and largest collections of historic and often playable keyboard instruments—clavichords, harpsichords, pianofortes and other types to be found in the country.

In May of this year a new exhibit will open featuring the recently received the gift of over 600 historic keyboards, woodwinds, and world instruments from Marlowe Sigal Collection in Boston. Additionally, a collection of 200 ethnomusicological instruments from the Asheville collector Edwin Frank was added last Fall. The museum’s Curator, Thomas Strange, whose collection was the nucleus and inspiration for the museum, said, “this recognition by USA Today reinforces our expectation to build a museum with national and international standing here in Greenville.”

The Carolina Music Museum will change its name to the Sigal Museum May 1st to honor the Boston collector whose gift has helped put the museum on the international music map. The new collection will attract an even wider interest among national and international artists wishing to come to Greenville to play these one-of-a-kind instruments in concert. SMM will continue to provide concerts across the music spectrum for audiences of all kinds from classical to mountain music. Go to our current website https://buff.ly/3a6oVui for more information about the collection and all the upcoming concerts.

Young Chamber Quartet on the Rise at the Carolina Music Museum
Thursday, May 24, 7:30 PM

The Callisto Quartet, comprised of four student musicians from the Cleveland Institute of Music was selected by a distinguished jury of internationally recognized musicians to compete in the 2018 Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition. The prestigious Wigmore Competition is exclusively for string quartets with members all under the age of 35 and is held triennially in London, England. The competition was completed Sunday, the 15th of April, and the youngest quartet in the competition, the Callisto Quartet, whose first violinist is Paul Aguilar, a graduate of Greenville’s Fine Arts Center, was awarded Jeunesses Musicales Deutschland prize. The quartet will attend one of the world’s most renowned masterclasses from September 5-16 in Weikersheim, Germany.

In July they will fly to Melbourne, Australia where, again, they will be the youngest quartet of eight competing in the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition, presented by Music Viva Australia, the largest chamber music presenting organization in the world.

The quartet will play in New York City at the Mannes New School for Music on December 2, having recently won an audition to play on the Schneider Concert series. They will be in good company for this is the same series on which the Guarneri, Vermeer, Cleveland, Tokyo, Dover, Calidore and Rolston Quartets made their NYC debuts and began their prestigious careers.

But, after Wigmore before Melbourne, before Weikersheim, before NYC, the Callisto Quartet will perform at the newly opened Carolina Music Museum on Heritage Green in downtown Greenville.

Tickets will go on sale for their Thursday, May 24 concert at the Carolina Music Museum on Monday, May 7. Tom Strange, the museum’s Curator and Artistic Director, will host a pre-concert conversation about this gifted group of young artists and the museum’s season at 7 PM.

With only 80 seats available we urge everyone to make their reservations early. $20 for adults, $15 for students with ID’s. The concert will begin at 7:30.
