CHARLOTTE — Two or three weeks with no day off. Coming and going through busy airports. At work, dozens of people watching your every move.
Having three jobs in two cities would be enough to wear you down – if it didn’t immerse you in uplifting music.
So Scott Allen Jarrett is nowhere near wanting to ease off the pace. For nearly eight years, he has shuttled between Charlotte and Boston, shepherding choirs – including the Oratorio Singers of Charlotte – through Bach, Beethoven and Brahms.
Last weekend, Jarrett guest-conducted a Miami group in a Bach masterwork. This weekend, he directs the music in chapel services at Boston University, his job No. 1. Next weekend he focuses on Charlotte, leading the Charlotte Symphony and Oratorio Singers in a choral blockbuster, Carl Orff’s “Carmina Burana.”
