KEOWEE for
KIDS! was launched in 2004.
Entertaining mini-concerts introduce young listeners to
chamber music and instruments through story and sound.
During the 2006 season, Keowee musicians
presented 5 free children's concerts to over
300 audience members. These events were sponsored by the SC
Arts Commission, the Asheville-Buncombe Library System and the
NC Center for Creative Retirement. One of these concerts was
filmed by Asheville's URTV and is now on DVD.
In
November 2006, Keowee extended its outreach through a 3-day residency at Evergreen Community Charter
School in Asheville. Six Keowee musicians presented workshops on South American music, culminating in 3 performances
with the students (43 sixth-graders) playing alongside the
artists. This project was sponsored by the Asheville Chamber
Music Series. Chamber
musicians come to Evergreen 12/7/06 Asheville
