Cross Currents Chamber Music Festival Gala at CAPTRUST Tower – July 5 – 8 p.m.

The Cross Currents Chamber Music Arts Festival is July 2-11 in Raleigh and Cary.  The festival program includes many different events and concerts featuring the Brussels Chamber Orchestra, Pierre Anckaert Quintet, Gavriel Lipkind, Will Scruggs, Mallarme Chamber Players, and North Carolina Symphony members.

Monday, July 5, North Hills will host the festival Gala in CAPTRUST Tower.  Come enjoy music, dancing, drinks and hors d’oeuvres with the Brussels Chamber Orchestra, Pierre Anckaert Quintet, and Will Scruggs.

The Brussels Chamber Orchestra began in 1999 by young international artists with a passion for chamber music.  The unique group does not have a conductor, which musicians believe stimulates a greater personal investment in the orchestra’s music.  The orchestra has previously participated in many international tours and they are now scheduled to stop in North Carolina.  The Gala will also feature Pierre Anckaert Quintet, who has collaborated with the Brussels Chamber Orchestra in his new CD “Strings Attached” and saxophonist, Will Scruggs.

The gala will begin at 8 p.m. on July 5 in CAPTRUST Tower at North Hills.  Tickets may be purchased online at  https://www.etix.com/ticket/servlet/onlineSale?action=selectPerformance&performance_id=1259761.  For a chance to win tickets, check out the North Hills Facebook Page at http://www.facebook.com/#!/NHRaleigh?ref=ts.
