Raising Voices Series
Tickets on sale February 1st!
In 2016, Glow introduced the Raising Voices Series, consisting of 2-3 one act concerts, cabarets and new works each spring. The goal of this series is to spark dialogue about relevant issues in the Greenville community as well as provide a megaphone for marginalized artists living in Greenville County. More than just performances, audiences are invited to partake in free receptions pre-show, and engage with local community partners in a talk back panel after the productions.
Mosaics of music, movement and spoken word touch on the delicate and contentious relationship between humans and planet eart.
March 13 &14
The Earth Has Music celebrates the beauty of our earth while also focusing on global and local climate change and environmental deterioration. Folk musicians, opera singers, poets, and dancers touch on the immediate issues faced in South Carolina of solar energy, the effects of environmental clean up (or lack thereof) on low income areas, and the Santee Cooper nuclear scandal. It features a pastiche of dance, poetry, and folk music, as well as new compositions from Greenville composer Jon Grier.
