IT’S SPOLETO TIME!
An exciting time in Charleston for the arts – is when Spoleto is here. Every year we can count on looking forward being entertained by wonderfully talented artists in theater, dance, opera, visual arts & jazz.
Initially the festival started in the acient city of Spoleto, Italy in 
the provence of Perugia founded by Gian Carlo Minotti. Named Festival dei Due Mondi which means Festival of Two Worlds, the intentionwas to have the worlds of American and European culture facing each other in his event; this concept would then be strengthened by the fact that it was held in conjunction with its “twin”, the Spoleto USA Festival.
I have been fortunate enough to attend a concert by Frank Emilio Flynn, a Cuban jazz piano player as well as a production of Mamba’s Daughters, at the Dock Street Theater. Both performances were outstanding.
If you are interested in attending any of these events, you can to www.spoletousa.org.
If you would like to take advantage of the Spoleto experience but are a little tight on cash, you might want to check out the events of Piccolo Spoleto. Launched in 1979, Piccolo Spoleto was designed to offer the Spoleto experience to everyone regardless of their economic, social or physical circumstance.
Whatever you decide to do, just get out there and enjoy Charleston!
