The Piccolo Spoleto Spolight Concert Series is my favorite Spoleto event. Over the years, I have throughly enjoyed the brilliant music and performers, and if time and schedule permitted, I would attend each concert.

This year’s series of concerts have moved from its primary location at the City Gallery to the New Tabernacle Fourth Baptist Church on Elizabeth Street. While the City Gallery provided a beautiful backdrop to the concerts, it was was too small. The church –featured in the photo on the right– is a larger, more comfortable and just as stunning.

The music fest program, titled Seasons by violinist Lee-Chin Chow, cellist Natalia Khoma, and pianist Volodymyr Vynnytsky, featured works from Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Astor Piazzolla, and finished up with one by Vynnystsky.

All the music was beautifully played, and the acoustics of the church made a difference, I especially liked the work by Piazzolla,Verano Porteno. It was in parts dark and moving, yet moving. Lost Tango by Vynnysky was great. His emotion and energy on the piano is fun to watch.
