Performers
Classical Idol acts
feature everything from folk to Broadway, gospel and beyond.
The Charlotte Symphony family and special guests will perform as
soloists or in small ensembles - often in decidedly
non-classical ways! Even Opera Carolina and
North Carolina Dance Theatre have gotten into the act!
