Hosted by Frank Dominguez

The Spoleto Festival USA is one of the leading arts festivals in the country, and a highlight of the cultural scene in the Carolinas. Festival director Nigel Redden speaks with WDAV about how the festival makes the city of Charleston “come alive” for seventeen days each year with “an embarrassment of artistic riches.” He also recommends some of the events this season that are of particular interest to classical music lovers.
