‘Conduct the Phil’ visits Babcock Center Wednesday, June 20

‘Conduct the Phil,’ a community engagement program by the SC Philharmonic will visit the Babcock Centerthis Wednesday

This Wednesday, June 20, we are bringing ‘Conduct the Phil’ to the Babcock Center located at 2725 Banny Jones Avenue in West Columbia from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. We invite the media to join us and see this program in action. This particular program is not open to the general public.

“We are so excited to host “Conduct the Phil” for a second time this year! It is such a wonderful program and provides an enriching experience for the people we support with lifelong disabilities at the Babcock Center.” – Director of the Babcock Center Foundation, Carrie Deaton

The Babcock Center is one of the many organizations with which we collaborate for ‘Conduct the Phil.’ Our musicians head off the stage and into our community to grow audience participation and connectivity with symphonic music.

“‘Conduct the Phil’ is a fun way for people of all ages and backgrounds to experience what I am fortunate to experience every time I step in front of an ensemble. You are placed right in the middle of all the musical action, perhaps similar to being right on the sidelines during a football game as opposed to watching it from the stands or on TV. If you are adventurous, feel free to experiment – make the orchestra go faster, slower, louder, softer, etc.” – Music Director, Morihiko Nakahara
