From the Colonial Era through the Civil War and Beyond, the music of Charleston came alive. The presentation was part of the Piccolo Spoleto offering, but is apparently available all year round.
This was an unexpected highlight of our visit. The performers were excellent and the mix of history with the music was outstanding.
Those of you who have read any of my other reviews will have realised by now that I am a "budget traveller". In other words, I am the consummate Scrooge!
In saying this, I want to squeeze every cent out of my holiday dollar and Sounds of Charleston did not meet my stingy requirements.

I make it a practice to never disagree with reviewers' opinions of our show because they are personal opinions. Happily, 155 other reviewers' opinions were more positive.

Location at the church was very good and appropriate although there was an echo, you get used to it. Artists were varied and skilled and reflected the different music genres of Charleston. I would recommend it to all music lovers. Go casual.
