SUMMARY:SOUTH CAROLINA and the  ROAD TO INDEPENDENCE Concert
DESCRIPTION:The decision to declare independence was bold and risky\, and the outcome far from certain.  In 1776\, no one in the colonies was more motivated or more determined to rise to the challenges that lay ahead than the patriots of South Carolina.  On June 6\, 2026\, no one will commemorate their success with greater joy and enthusiasm than the citizens of the South Carolina lowcountry who gather at the USCB Center for Arts in historic Beaufort for a day of history\, music\, and birthday cake. The program will comprise three parts: a combined lecture by eminent historians Drs. Lawrence Rowland and John McCardell-tracing the sources and discussing the causes of the American Revolution and South Carolina’s role in its success\, a short break for discussion and the essential birthday cake with lemonade\, and then an all American concert for four hands by brilliant pianists Jeewon Park and Andrew Armstrong-presenting works by American composers ranging from Sousa to Joplin to Gershwin to Barber; from “Yankee Doodle” to “Stars and Stripes” to ragtime\, to “Rhapsody in Blue\,” and beyond. \nOur founders fought for and then created a republic whose motto\, still on the dollar bill\, was Novus Ordo Saeclorum (a new order of the ages).  Those Founding Fathers clearly delineated that new order in official documents\, but nowhere would it be better expressed than in the newly formed country’s music. For the last two hundred and fifty years\, we have exercised our hard-won freedoms and enjoyed the distinctly American musical compositions that have declared them loudly\, rhythmically\, and uniquely both to ourselves and to the world at large.  It is now time to engage our minds and tap our feet in celebrating our history\, our freedom\, and our music. \nAll-inclusive tickets are $30: https://www.uscbchambermusic.com/250 \nDoors open at 2:30 PMLectures 3 – 3:55 PM \nCake and Lemonade 4 – 4:25 PM    Piano concert 4:30 – 6 PM

SUMMARY:THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AT 250 - ORIGINS\, IDEAS\, AND LEGACY
DESCRIPTION:The Declaration of Independence is the most widely read\, recited\, and celebrated of America’s founding documents. It has inspired movements across time and around the globe\, from the French Revolutionaries of 1789 to Ho Chi Minh in the twentieth century. Both Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln claimed to be defending its principles. In this course\, we will closely analyze the structure\, language\, and rhetorical power of this remarkable document while engaging several fundamental questions: What did Thomas Jefferson mean by terms such as equality\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness? In what ways does the Declaration reflect the ideas of classical and Enlightenment thinkers who shaped the founding generation? How persuasive was the evidence offered to support the claim that King George III was a tyrant? \nZoom Course \nCourse Pre-requisites\n(required) OLLI Annual Membership

SUMMARY:Carolina Kids
DESCRIPTION:All about kids in the Palmetto State. \nSouth Carolina played a pivotal role in the American Revolution. Our state witnessed more Revolutionary War engagements than any other\, and the Battle of Sullivan’s Island on June 28\, 1776 marked one of the first significant victories for the Patriot cause. The courage shown that day by South Carolinians defending their home set the tone for the resilience and independence that would define a new nation. Each year\, Carolina Day honors that legacy\, and in 2026\, its anniversary will be even more meaningful as it coincides with the nation’s 250th birthday celebration.
