In production of this season of SummerStages, WDAV traveled to Charleston, SC for one of the world”s top summer music festivals: Spoleto Festival USA. While there, we enjoyed performances at the festival’s many venues as well the outstanding culinary offerings of the city. Anyone visiting Charleston cannot help being charmed by its beauty and hospitality – we were certainly no exception.
As part of our Spoleto trip, host Matt Rogers had the opportunity to speak with conductors Anne Manson and Joe Miller, pianist Stephen Prutsman, and orchestra members Jack Marquardt and Matt Bronstein. They couldn’t say enough about what an incredible festival Spoleto was, or the appeal of Charleston. Everyone”s favorite attraction was unanimous: the food.
Hear a mouth-watering montage from these interviews.
