Monday night's Dixie, Denim, and Drinks was a smashing success, and if you missed it, you really missed out. We would like to give a big thanks to all of the performers- Laura Ball, Peter Kiral, Courtney Sharp, Edoardo Carpenedo, and Erica Carpenedo- and hope that they'll be back to perform for us again. While we're big fans of "quiet in the library", this concert certainly showcased the joy of a little occasional noise around here!
So we are now officially "warmed up" for Spoleto; on to Piccolo proper. First up is another great concert called Circa 1748. This is a joint project of the CLS and the CSO Spiritual Ensemble, incorporating our historical written materials with the vocal talents of the Spiritual Ensemble. May 29th, 7PM, here at the CLS.
June 3-5 is the Piccolo Spoleto Literary Festival, kindly sponsored by Wachovia and Duvall Catering. Starting at 10 AM on the 3rd, John McCardell will discuss The Civil War and Historical Memory; at 3 PM Louis Rubin will talk about his new book, Uptown/Downtown in Old Charleston. June 4th at 10 AM we'll have James Kibler present Getting Reacquainted with William Gillmore Simms, Poet; at 3 PM Farrell O'Gorman will give Writing Faith and Doubt in the Contemporary South: Walker Percy's Legacy. At 10 AM on the 5th, former 60 Minutes producer Robert G. Anderson will tell us What NOT to Say to Mike Wallace; and at 3PM Dacre Stoker will discuss Unlocking Some of the Mysteries of Dracula, from the Stoker Family Perspective.
Event tickets for Circa 1748 and the Festival are available wherever Piccolo Spoleto tickets are sold. The concert is $21, and the literary lectures $16.
Immediately following the will be our annual Literary Soiree, at 7 PM on the 5th. Join some of our speakers and your fellow festival goers, and have a nosh courtesy of Duvall Catering. Tickets are $15, and are available directly though the Library Society, 843.723.9912.
