Join us for a family-friendly Halloween celebration as we transform the Koger Center into that famous school of witchcraft and wizardry.

Join us for tunes, tricks and treats!

This concert furnishes pre-concert family fun in the lobby by providing Hogwarts-themed activities. Audience members can get their very own lighting bolt on their head, engage and learn about amazing creatures through a partnership with Carolina Wildlife, or grab one of the “Have You Seen This Wizard?” frames for a photo op with family and friends. Costumes are highly encouraged.

MEET OUR GUEST CONDUCTOR, ANTOINE T. CLARK...

 

ANTOINE T. CLARK (Guest Conductor): Compelling interpretations, inventive performances and an energetic stage presence are the hallmarks of American conductor Antoine T. Clark. The founding Artistic and Music Director of the Worthington Chamber Orchestra in Ohio (formerly McConnell Arts Center Chamber Orchestra, established in 2013), Mr. Clark was recently appointed Associate Conductor of West Virginia’s Wheeling Symphony Orchestra after serving as Assistant Conductor since 2021. A passionate advocate of arts education, in 2022, he served as Cincinnati Symphony’s MAC Music Innovator. The program, which highlights leading African American classical musicians who embody artistry, innovation, and commitment to education and community engagement, saw Clark leading chamber music and orchestral performances in schools and throughout the community during his residency. Mr. Clark will join the SC Philharmonic as guest conductor of Halloween at Hogwarts this year!
