Dear Friends: We are delighted to share with you the program for the 2015 Piccolo Spoleto Festival. In the succession of years since the inaugural Spoleto Festival USA in 1977 and the subsequent launch in 1979 of Piccolo Spoleto, the City of Charleston has remained unfalteringly committed to the Festivals’ founding vision. Today, these concurrent events draw tourists from around the world and serve locals with cultural experiences of the highest standard across every imaginable discipline. Annually presenting more than 500 performing, literary, and visual arts events, the 17-day Piccolo Spoleto Festival transforms Charleston into an exhilarating celebration of the cultural vitality and diversity of the South Carolina Lowcountry. As the official outreach arm of Spoleto Festival USA, Piccolo Spoleto strives to make the Spoleto Festival experience available to everyone in the community—artists and audiences alike—and equally to visitors to our great city. Nearly half of Piccolo Spoleto’s events are admission free and others are modestly priced. Over the course of the Festival, there are hundreds of opportunities to enjoy Piccolo Spoleto through events that are free to the public and that allow Festival attendees to gather in the spirit of community celebration. Taken together with the international scope of Spoleto Festival USA, Piccolo Spoleto truly transforms the City of Charleston into a vibrant showcase for the arts and culture, with the Festivals widely regarded as sitting prominently amidst the most exciting and enjoyable arts festivals in the world. We salute all of the artists who will participate in this year’s Piccolo Spoleto Festival, as well as the many artists and audiences who have contributed to the success of the Festival in the past. From the opening notes of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra’s Sunset Serenade concert to the family-friendly Piccolo Spoleto Finale at Hampton Park, we are certain you will be entertained, enchanted, and inspired by what the Festival has in store this year. We hope you will enjoy everything that Charleston and Piccolo Spoleto have to offer.

The Piccolo Spoleto Festival annually presents a varied program that includes visual arts exhibitions, performances of classical music, jazz, dance, theater, and choral music, as well as cultural events and community celebrations, poetry readings, children’s activities, crafts shows, and film screenings. Piccolo Spoleto prioritizes accessibility for both artists and performers, presenting professional work of the highest standard, while ensuring that nearly half of Piccolo’s events are admissionfree, with the balance offered at affordable ticket prices. Piccolo Spoleto was launched in 1979 by the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs, which continues to work closely with an engaged group of volunteers from the Charleston arts community. The working group of arts professionals who serve as volunteer program coordinators for the Festival now numbers nearly forty, with each specializing in a particular discipline, genre, or period. These arts professionals and scholars devote significant time, energy, and expertise to help curate and plan the various series and presentations that comprise the Piccolo Spoleto Festival. Their input and guidance is essential to framing this comprehensive multi-disciplinary arts festival program, which is produced and presented by the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs. Applications for the 2016 Piccolo Spoleto Festival will be available online in the autumn at www.piccolospoleto.com.
