The Poetry of Music
On Saturday, March 22, 2025, at 7 p.m., 7th Street Concerts presents The Poetry of Music, a program that weaves together string quartet music with poetry.
Tickets are $30, but use the promo code CLTCHEAP for $10 tickets (plus fees and tax, for a total of $13.42.) Limited availability. Purchase tickets here.
Music by Poiesis Quartet weaves together with the powerful poetry of Junious Ward, the Poet Laureate of Charlotte. Blending classic and new compositions with world premiere poetry, it creates an immersive experience where sound, space, and language intertwine. Through the harmony of light, melody, and verse, this performance invites you to discover new ways of experiencing the beauty of nature through music.
The Poiesis Quartet is one of the hottest young chamber ensembles in the US, recently winning the pinnacle of chamber music competitions, the Fischoff Competition. Constantly commissioning, performing, touring, and recording, these young musicians bring pure energy and vitality to the stage.
Known for his honest, conversational, and raw style exploring identity, place, history, and more, Junious “Jay” Ward is the 2022 Poet Laureate of Charlotte and an in-demand speaker and educator across the US. His spoken word performances have garnered awards and recognition by many organizations.
Decoda in Concert, by 7th Street Concerts and SHOUT!

In an ecstatic celebration of creativity, Decoda appears in Charlotte for the first time to present a varied and colorful program as part of Charlotte SHOUT! featuring string quartet plus bassoonist Brad Balliett. Playing music spanning from Elgar to Carolina Shaw, this exciting program will also feature a brand new, world premiere work composed by YOU! That’s right- if you attend our SHOUT! Music and Technology Hackathon, you can join a workshop led by Decoda to unlock your own creative potential and see something you’ve helped create on the big stage. Be part of creating a little piece of Charlotte SHOUT! and celebrate your own creativity alongside the creativity of many other great composers and performers. Register for the Hackathon for free at 7thstreetconcerts.org. Of course, you don’t have to attend the hackathon to enjoy this wonderful concert. As always, our concerts feature a complementary reception and free parking with validation.
Decoda was founded in 2012 by musicians who first collaborated as members of Ensemble Connect, a two-year fellowship program of Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, and the Weill Music Institute in partnership with the NYC Department of Education. Its work as an ensemble has grown out of this collective training, which focused on developing skills as exemplary performers, dedicated teachers, and passionate advocates for music in communities around the world.
