PT from the Spoleto Festival
For the past 34 years, the Spoleto Festival USA has been one of the greatest summer arts festivals in the world. Host Fred Child is there, broadcasting from Charleston, South Carolina. He'll be bringing us great performances from Spoleto, and the stories behind them. One of those stories: the connection between Charleston and the Pachelbel Canon. Plus a terrific performance of a Haydn string quartet.
