Music Professor Performs with CSO

College of Charleston music professor and alumnus Quentin Baxter is performing with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra on January 22 and 23 with renowned guest conductor Edwin Outwater. Quentin Baxter and Friends is a jazz ensemble that will perform various configurations with the CSO. The group includes trumpeter Charlton Singleton, saxophonist Mark Sterbank, pianist Tommy Gill and acoustic bassist Kevin Hamilton. The concerts are at 8:00 p.m. at Memminger Auditorium. Tickets are $25-45 and available at any Ticketmaster outlet.

“Quentin Baxter is a different breed of cat. He’s a percussionist, composter/arranger and producer who operates at the highest level of pursuit and accomplishment,” The Post and Courier said.

This performance will feature European and American classical music, symphonic and jazz – sometimes separately, sometimes together.
