The Post and Courier: Charleston’s classical scene rises ‘Under an Indigo Sky’ with Billboard No. 2 spot

Charleston’s claim to classical fame has reached a new crescendo.

Composer Edward Hart’s new recording, “Under an Indigo Sky,” has come out on a high note, hitting the No. 2 spot on Billboard’s Traditional Classical Album ranking.

The recording, released by Navona Records, includes two original works by Hart, a Charleston native.

A violin concerto, “Under an Indigo Sky” was written expressly for and features Charleston Symphony’s artistic director and concertmaster Yuriy Bekker as soloist and folds in the composer’s impressions of various regions of South Carolina.
