Jonathan Scales Fourchestra to Perform at Chapman Cultural Center

On November 15th, Spartanburg Philharmonic’s Espresso Series will feature the innovative sounds of Jonathan Scales Fourchestra at the Chapman Cultural Center. Known for their genre-defying music, the group is led by steel pannist and composer Jonathan Scales, whose fusion of jazz, classical, and progressive rock creates a captivating auditory experience.

Scales, often hailed as one of the world’s most innovative steel pannists, brings a unique approach to his instrument, blending complex rhythms and intricate compositions that defy convention. Backed by the Fourchestra, which includes skilled musicians on bass and drums, their performances are both high-energy and deeply emotive, pushing the boundaries of traditional music genres.

The concert will offer an intimate and immersive experience, where audiences can enjoy the intricate interplay of steel pan and rhythm section in the cozy atmosphere of the Chapman Cultural Center. Part of the Philharmonic’s Espresso Series, this performance promises to be a standout event, perfect for those seeking something refreshingly different.
