Rundown S.C. ranks No. 11 for DUI severity, new report says South Carolina just eked out of the top ten worst states in the nation for drunk driving statistics, according to a new Zutobi report that measures several key metrics including DUI arrests and fatalities.

In 2020, the state reported more than 269 arrests per 100,000 drivers, eight road fatalities per 100,000 drivers and a total of 315 DUI fatalities, giving the state a severity score of 54.9, 0.3 points behind the 10th spot on the list, New Mexico.

According to data, 29% of all road fatalities in South Carolina were DUIrelated. Nationwide, drunk driving accounted for 30% of all road fatalities — with 11,654 deaths — the worst year since 2005. And drunk driving fatalities are up 1,512 deaths (14.9%) compared to 2019. —Skyler Baldwin Getty Images

Early voting becomes law in S.C.

News 05.18.2022

No-excuse early voting became law in South Carolina today at the stroke of a pen by Gov. Henry McMaster.

The new law means that starting May 31, registered South Carolinian voters can cast ballots in-person two weeks before the June primary at county voter registration and election offices. Voters do not need to have a qualified excuse to vote early, as in the past.

“In-person absentee voting has now been replaced with a two-week early voting period,” the S.C. Election Commission announced last week. “Any voter can visit an early-voting location in their county and vote like they would at their polling place on Election Day.” Registered voters also still have the option to vote absentee by mail.

Meanwhile on Thursday, South Carolina lawmakers rushed to get final approval for bills to send to McMaster that would reform the state’s sex offender registry and update police force and pursuit standards.

The regular session ended at 5 p.m.

vouchers and other measures still in House-Senate compromise committees.

When they resume session, House members will be led by new Speaker Murrell Smith, R-Sumter.

Here is a look at what was done, still needs work and what wasn’t finished.

Passed this week

Sex offender registry. Lawmakers approved a bill that updated the state’s sex offender registry. In June, the state Supreme Court ordered the legislature to change rules of the registry to allow ex-convicts to

be removed if they aren’t likely to be reoffenders. The overhaul eliminated a requirement to register for life without a hearing.

Force standards. Lawmakers also set up minimum standards for the use of force and vehicle pursuits for the state’s law enforcement officers.

Disabled workers. Legislators passed a ban on paying disabled workers less than minimum wage.

Early voting. McMaster signed into law a bill to allow for no-excuse early voting, which will commence May 31, roughly two weeks before the June 14 primary, according to the S.C. Election Commission. The bill replaces in-person absentee voting rules.

Birth control pills. As the clock wound down last Thursday, senators approved a House-passed measure to allow women over 18 to get birth control pills or other hormonal contraceptives from a pharmacist without a doctor’s prescription — a move CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

‘A huge deal’ City Council gives first approval to tourism funds for Ashley River pedestrian bridge Charleston City Council last week approved the first reading of a measure to use just over $1 million from the city’s Hospitality Fee to support the Ashley River Crossing Project, a plan years in the making to build a bike-pedestrian bridge across the lower Ashley River.

The bridge would tie into the West Ashley Greenway and Bikeway, a widely used, nearly eight mile long trail spanning inner and outer West Ashley. The bridge would span less than half a mile of water directly south of the T. Allen Legare Bridge, connecting West Ashley and the peninsula and providing a safe, easy way for residents of downtown and West Ashley to get back and forth without cars.

City officials estimate the final cost to be about $41.2 million — and the city is only $1 million shy of that total.

The $41 million raised so far has come from a combination of local, state and federal funds, including a recent grant for $14 million from the Charleston Area Regional Transportation Study.

“This is a huge win for the community,” said council member Karl Brady. “Once this bridge is completed, you’ll be able to go on the Greenway from downtown, across the bridge, all the way to my district near the Limehouse Bridge on Johns Island. That’s a huge win for mobility in this city — to be able to do that without ever having to have bikes or pedestrians get on a road.”

City leaders aren’t the only people excited to get the

Construction for a planned pedestrian bridge connecting West Ashley and downtown Charleston could conclude in 2026 project underway. Katie Zimmerman, executive director of local mobility advocacy group Charleston Moves, spoke ahead of the council’s vote at last week’s meeting.

“I just wanted to thank [City Council] for [their] continued leadership on the Ashley River bike and pedestrian bridge,” she said. “It’s a huge deal. It’s going to be legacymaking for our region. It’s going to save a lot of lives and make commutes a lot more enjoyable.”

Once fully funded, the city believes the construction contract for the bridge would be awarded in March of next year. They estimate the project will be completed in 2026.

Pedestrian safety has been an ongoing discussion in Charleston and South Carolina as a whole. Several pedestrian and cyclist deaths are reported every year as people cross bridges with no dedicated pedestrian walkways or bike lanes. South Carolina ranked No. 4 in the nation for highest pedestrian deaths in the U.S., according to data from the U.S. Census and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The picture is even more grim for cyclists.

According to mobility analytics firm Streetlight, in terms of overall serious accidents, South Carolina is the second most dangerous state to ride a bicycle, and 4th in overall fatalities.

(3.11 pedestrian and 3.5 cyclist deaths per 100k).

This isn’t the only project in the pipeline set to help pedestrians and cyclists cross the river. The Better Northbridge Project, still in the early stages, involves building a standalone bike and pedestrian bridge adjacent to the existing Northbridge which extends from Poston Road in West Ashley to Azalea Drive in North Charleston.

While the Northbridge carries less traffic per day than the downtown bridges, it has even less safe access for pedestrians and cyclists. There have been four cyclists killed on the bridge since 2015, according to county data.

Even more have been injured.

City officials and community leaders have both stressed the importance of pedestrian access in curbing these unnecessary injuries and deaths. —Skyler Baldwin

Footage shows apparent street racers at Aquarium garage

6

Last Wednesday, a local source who asked not to be identified sent City Paper footage near the S.C. Aquarium that shows what is best described as a local rendition of an early 2000s street racing scene from The Fast and the Furious, with roaring motors, speeding cars and running crowds visible from the aquarium parking garage on the corner of Calhoun and East Bay streets. The source lives in the area. The footage is available on the City Paper website.

While the cars may not be truly racing, speeding down the deck of the garage, revving their engines and “burning rubber” is dangerous and noisy. And according to the source, these events are common on weekends and the garage is often not yet emptied of public drivers by the time the drivers begin setting up. This particular footage, for example, was shot about 10 p.m. on May 6 — the College of Charleston’s graduation weekend, which brought flocks of visitors to the city.

According to the source, after tearing through the garage, the drivers often then

speed down Calhoun or East Bay streets.

Charleston Police Department (CPD) received the same footage and will have officers keep a check in the area moving forward to address ongoing issues, according to CPD public information officer Elisabeth Wolfsen.

After a short investigation, Wolfsen said CPD received calls regarding the incident that night, but when officers responded, drivers had already dispersed. Security footage from the garage at the time of the incident was not obtained by CPD. CPD gave no reason for this, nor any comment on whether they intended to further pursue the security footage.

“That lot, out of the main downtown area, is busy at night due to activities in the aquarium — proms, weddings, events,” the source said in an email exchange. “The noise is a nuisance to neighbors, not only around the lot but also along East Bay and Calhoun streets since they exit and continue to speed down those streets. On Friday they were also dangerously close to the train on Washington Street as they exited the area.”

Provided

The S.C. Aquarium parking garage was still crowded late last Wednesday as drivers revved their engines and sped around the top deck before racing off down East Bay and Calhoun streets Representatives from the S.C. Aquarium said they had little to share about the incident, but will be keeping an eye on it as the situation continues to unfold.

The parking garage is managed by ABM, a company which provides building maintenance and facility services. Despite our repeated efforts, including calls to a safety hotline listed on their website ([866] 2082114, email: safety@abmcarecenter.com) no one at the company provided City Paper fur-

ther information on questions that included whether they maintain video records from garage cameras, how street racers have managed, on apparently more than one occasion, to essentially commandeer a downtown parking garage, or whether they had been in contact with, or contacted by Charleston police over the incident. Despite having a contract to manage local parking, ABM’s local number as listed on their website is also disconnected.

“We will address any issues of safety as it relates to the parking garages or other parking structures,” said CPD lieutenant Corey Taylor, commander of public information and assistant commander of public disturbance. “We will certainly address all incidents brought to our attention, and the information we have does not indicate this is a common occurrence. We would request the public contact the non-emergency number at (843) 743-7200 if they observe incidents in the future so we may address them promptly.” —Skyler Baldwin

Blotter of the Week

Still up in the air

State budget. House and Senate conferees are continuing to hammer out details for the state budget. A $12.6 billion Senate version calls for a $1 billion tax cut and $1 billion in rebates. A $14 billion House version cuts income taxes, provides more road money and includes larger teacher pay hikes. Lawmakers will return June 15 to pass the final version.

Vouchers. Other conferees will be working on whether to approve a voucher measure that will let parents of poorer students use public money to pay for private school tuition.

Abortion. Lawmakers also have reserved the right to come back in special session sometime this year if the U.S. Supreme Court changes the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion decision.

Failed to pass

UofSC board reform. Opponents in the S.C. Senate stalled a measure to reduce the number of trustees on the University of South Carolina Board of Trustees.

Supporters of the measure complained that not making changes would allow for more mismanagement to occur by the board, which has been under the gun in recent years for various decisions.

Breaking up DHEC. Lawmakers were not able to pass a proposal to split the state Department of Health and Environmental Control into separate agencies — essentially one for health and the other for the environment.

Hate crimes. South Carolina remains one of two states in the nation without a hate crimes law after lawmakers failed to act again this year.

Charleston loophole. Lawmakers failed to close a loophole to keep some people from getting guns. The measure has been on the Statehouse agenda for several years since nine people were massacred at Emanuel AME Church in 2015.

Medical marijuana. While the bill to approve compassionate use of medical marijuana passed the Senate for the first time in seven years, it was ruled out of order earlier in the month in the House. It has to start over in 2023.

Kick Miller out of office in June t’s a pure cryin’ shame the S.C. General Assembly couldn’t get it together enough last week to pass S.C. Sen. Chip Campsen’s bill to rein in poorlyperforming elected registers of deeds like Michael Miller in Charleston.

Miller, a Democrat, is up for re-election this year and has a June primary against Karen Hollings. We strongly encourage voters to kick Miller out of office. If they don’t vote him out next month, they’ll have another chance in the November general election against Republican Bob McIntyre. One way or another, Miller needs to become an ex-register of deeds this year.

Miller, elected in 2018 to a public service job that pays almost $127,000 a year, has proven time and again that he’s not qualified to manage the basic work of the office — the filing of real estate documents in a timely manner.

Send him back to his West Ashley barbershop where he apparently spends weekends working while deeds employees have struggled to nix the crushing backlog that developed under Miller’s inept watch.

For months, real estate professionals and lawyers have been complaining about how Miller has been slack in running the once-efficient department that became plagued with long delays of filing real estate transactions in the hot Charleston market. In late November, a lawsuit sought a court to monitor the office and to get Miller’s office back on track. In December, a whistleblower filed a lawsuit saying she was fired for complaining to Miller

about how his office was not doing its job properly.

By February, a state circuit judge ordered Miller to get the office’s work done, including having the staff working longer and through weekends to eliminate backlogs. The order also included pointers to hire experienced, temporary staff from neighboring counties to help reduce the paperwork juggernaut.

Also in February, Campsen filed a bill (S. 1031) to require minimum qualifications for elected registers of deeds, which included having a college degree or four years of experience in law, real estate, accounting, as a register of deeds or an employee in a deeds office. The proposal also included a stipulation making a person ineligible for holding the job if he or she had a pattern of failing to do the job. The bill passed the Senate and House separately, but lawmakers didn’t agree on a final version — to the great detriment of Charleston County.

Another possibility to change the office is for the job to become appointed, rather than elected. Only six registers of deeds in the state are elected. County council has said it doesn’t have the authority to appoint the position, but the county’s legislative delegation apparently does.

One way or another, things need to change. The quickest way for change is to elect someone else with experience to the position.

In a political meeting this month, Miller said the backlog had been eliminated. But he also admitted, “I’m not there on Saturday.” Let’s make that permanent.

OPINION

Gun violence is destroying America By Andy Brack We grieve for the 10 people murdered Saturday in Buffalo, allegedly by a racist teenaged gunman. Remember them: Celestine Chaney Roberta A. Drury Andre Mackneil Katherine Massey Margus D. Morrison Deacon Heyward Patterson Aaron Salter Jr. Geraldine Talley Ruth Whitfield Pearl Young.

We continue to grieve in Charleston for nine people murdered almost seven years ago by a racist gunman, then 21.

Never forget them: Cynthia Graham Hurd Susie Jackson Ethel Lee Lance The Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor The Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney Tywanza Sanders The Rev. Daniel L. Simmons The Rev. Sharonda Coleman-Singleton Myra Thompson.

The Saturday deaths of innocent people at a Buffalo grocery store in a predominantly Black neighborhood rekindles the fear, sadness, disappointment, anger, resentment and hopelessness that ripped through Charleston and the country seven years ago. With more than 200 mass shootings already this year, too many are wondering, “Will it ever end?”

The racism and hate that fuels these crimes and the antipathy that grips too many people in the United States is wrong, oh so wrong. It violates the very soul and decency at the root of the world’s greatest experiment in freedom.

From Key West to Seattle, too many Americans feel lost that we can’t resolve the two issues linked by these hate crimes — racism and guns. What’s particularly vexing is how many “wake-up calls” the country has had since 2015 — from hate-based shootings in El Paso (21 dead in 2019), Pittsburgh (11 dead in 2018) and Orlando (49 deaths in 2016). Add to that the racial animosity fueled daily on television and the Internet in political discourse as well as at hate rallies like those in Charlottesville in 2017 and rogue policing that led to the 2020 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

The burden is growing. It’s a scratchy shroud that bites into our shoulders. It holds back our communities, states and nation. Failure to combat this hate keeps too many from realizing their dreams.

Malcolm Graham, a Charlotte city councilman who lost his sister in the Charleston massacre, rightly describes racism as the country’s Achilles’ heel. “As a country, we need to acknowledge that it exists,” he told the Associated Press.

“There’s a lack of acknowledgment that these problems are

persistent, are embedded into systems and cost lives.”

But we need to do more. We need to triple-down on efforts to confront hate by reining in the dark Internet, educating youths, celebrating diversity and tearing apart hate groups through the legal system. Unfortunately, it will be hard and take far too long.

What can be done more quickly is to do more to reduce gun violence. It’s a travesty that South Carolina legislators again avoided responsibility to everyone in the state and failed to outlaw hate crimes or close the Charleston loophole that led the Emanuel AME murderer to purchase a gun.

It’s a travesty that members of Congress haven’t taken national steps to reduce gun violence. Some common-sense steps that should happen sooner than later, as suggested by the Center for American Progress and the Prevention Institute: Reduce easy access to dangerous weapons; Ban assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines; Allow federal research of gun violence as a public health issue; Require background checks for all gun sales; Establish a culture of gun safety; and Bolster the health system for more violence prevention.

Let’s stop having these wake-up calls. Let’s really start doing something about gun violence, not just talking about it.

The performing arts venue searches for employees as it tries to revamp its operations

he staff at Charleston Gaillard Center, the city’s top performing arts venue, is tired and diminished. The organization that runs it is scrambling to fill vacancies at all levels thanks to the pandemic’s reset of work trends and a leadership change last year.

The iconic arts and entertainment center in downtown Charleston is also trying to untangle a confusing, complex fundraising relationship between two nonprofit groups that support it. But through it all, officials said, the Gaillard is plowing ahead.

Most of the Gaillard vacancies, she noted, are in the operation departments that staff late-night and weekend events. “A number of [employees] have taken another look at how they want to

Untangling fundraising

In addition to the nonprofit Gaillard Management Corporation is another nonprofit, The Martha and John M. Rivers Performance Hall Foundation. Previously known as the Gaillard Performance Hall Foundation, the Rivers Foundation was originally set up to partially fund the $142 million demolition of the old Gaillard Municipal Auditorium and construction of the new Charleston Gaillard Center. After that work was completed in 2015, a separate fundraising office for the Gaillard was opened and run by the GMC. Yet despite the GMC’s own fundraising arm, Frenkel said the Rivers Foundation has continued to raise money and is now on target to raise $1 million for the Gaillard before the current fiscal year ends in June. The goal for next year is higher.

But this fundraising structure created confusion among the Gaillard’s supporters. So in addition to her other work with the center, Frenkel has been tasked with restructuring fundraising.

According to Frenkel and Renee Anderson, CEO and president of the Rivers Foundation, this confusing situation goes back to the period after 2012 when the city got serious about creating a new Gaillard Center.

Back then, board members of the Rivers Foundation that oversaw the Gaillard project included then-Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley Jr. and billionaire philanthropist Martha Rivers Ingram, who contributed significantly to the Gaillard renovation. Anderson said despite the fact that the old Gaillard Municipal Auditorium was a larger venue (2,700 seats versus today’s 1,800), the old auditorium had no management board or staff to help secure events and was difficult to fill. To avoid this scenario with the new Gaillard Center, the Rivers Foundation, the mayor’s office and the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (CACVB) selected a 17-member GMC board of directors.

The city and Rivers Foundation then split the $142 million cost for renovating the Gaillard. Today, the city still owes $11.2 million of its share, O’Toole said.

The Rivers Foundation has met its obligation, Anderson said.

After Frenkel arrived in Charleston last year, she selected Anderson, who was already working as the Rivers Foundation’s CEO to become the GMC’s chief advancement officer — a position that includes fundraising. Anderson receives no salary for either position.

Anderson, who also serves on the GMC board and is on its executive committee, was also involved with Frenkel’s hiring.

“I am not really on the [GMC] staff,” Anderson said with a slight giggle. “It is confusing. I am in a role that reports to [Frenkel], and I am unpaid. There isn’t anyone else to fill this role right now to be the chief advancement officer to work with the past donors and to engage with the patrons and bring them together to create a culture of philanthropy.”

“I think that was confusing for everybody,” Frenkel said. “The donor community and the community who love the arts were

confused. Who do I give money to if I want to support the artistic and educational programs at the Gaillard?”

The GMC board then charged Frenkel with solving the issue. To create a single fundraising entity, the GMC’s Office of Institutional Advancement, which had nonprofit status through the GMC, was placed under the umbrella of the Rivers Foundation. The fundraising office in the GMC was then closed and the Rivers Foundation, under Anderson’s direction, is now tasked with Gaillard fundraising.

When asked to comment on Anderson’s dual positions with the GMC and the Rivers Foundation, Washington, D.C., attorney Jeffery Tenenbaum, who advises nonprofits, said this governance structure is common and acceptable as long as the leadership of both boards is aware of Anderson’s dual roles.

Anderson said her role with the GMC is not permanent. “My objective is to grow my team (at the Rivers Foundation) so that one of them will step into the chief advancement officer role,” she said.

Regarding the staffing situation at the Gaillard, Anderson said she did not know the details of the staff openings at the Gaillard, but added that it takes specialized skills to manage a performing arts venue “so there are not necessarily locals [with] these skills when openings arise. The center’s leadership is working diligently to identify high-quality candidates who can serve us well.”

Too close for comfort

Over the years, the GMC and the Rivers Foundation boards have shared some of the same trustees. Elected city officials have served on the GMC board as well. Its current board chair is Helen Hill, who also heads the CACVB, which helped in turn, to select the original GMC board.

A former GMC board member, who asked not to be identified, questioned this close relationship between the boards of the ostensibly separate GMC and Rivers Foundation and the appointment of Charleston City Council members to the GMC board. The ex-board member said the closely co-mingled boards populated by local representatives represent a concentration of influence, giving the Gaillard an unfair advantage over smaller nonprofit arts groups and for-profit performance venues.

Frenkel said the GMC is considering changing its bylaws to have elected officials serve as non-voting ex-officio board members. “We are looking at that now, not because we think we’ve done anything wrong, but we would love to include more council members and members of the mayor’s staff,” she said. “We want to make sure we are doing it right.

“I feel very fortunate we are very close to the city,” Frenkel said, adding that the city has an interest in the Gaillard because city offices are in the building, and the city funded half of the $142 million renovation.

“So it makes sense for them to be close to the organization.”

Anderson said the sharing of GMC and Rivers Foundation board members is by design. “When we established the GMC in 2013, the city wanted Martha Ingram and me to represent the city because we were working with the builders, and we would know what needed to be done as a board. We already had a board with bylaws, and we knew what the vision was for the new center because we created that vision.

“When you have a supported organization, (the GMC) and a supporting organization (the Rivers Foundation) there is a deliberate crossover of board members so they can be mutually complementary.”

set their work-life balance so we have seen a lot of transition in our departments that support the events,” she said.

To fix the staffing problem, the GMC has hired the Chicago-based DHR International and a local employment consultant.

According to City of Charleston spokesman Jack O’Toole, the city is not concerned at this point that the staff shortages will interfere with the Gaillard’s ability to run an efficient operation. “GMC has managed the Gaillard successfully for the better part of a decade now,” he said in an email.

The Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture at the College of Charleston is currently asking for submissions from the community for its Documenting the Arc project. Documenting the Arc explores those who got involved with or were moved by the Black Lives Matter movement between 2014 and 2020.

Funded by a grant from the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelley Foundation and part of its “Broadening Narratives” initiative, Documenting the Arc is a continuation of work the Avery Center has done on the civil rights movements of the 60s and the 70s. The goal is to bridge the conversations between the past and those currently fighting for social justice in Charleston.

Documenting the Arc is a two part project. Part One is a collection of filmed interviews with local activists and organizers. Avery has reached out to people of all ages who advised or actively participated in demonstrations or organizing during the selected period, focusing most directly on the span of time between the killing of Walter Scott and the Mother Emanuel AME Church shooting. These interviews will turn into a documentary chronicling the Charleston activism community.

“This project highlights Black activism, and focuses on those who participated

directly in the work.

Through the interviews we have completed, we have been able to document the work of activists and obtained a better understanding of the workings of the organizations as well as the values and concerns of Black people in Charleston,” said Aaisha Haykal, manager of archival Services at the Avery Center.

However, they cannot interview everyone. That’s where Part Two comes in.

Part Two of the initiative looks to create a collection of community works influenced by the modern Black civil rights movement. Photos, songs, poems, stories and any other kind of media that speaks to the moment is welcome to be submitted. The Avery Research Center is hoping to archive this collection and use it to inspire future research and interviewing initiatives.

Shelby Corso in her studio at Redux

By Chloe Hogan Redux Contemporary Art Center presents the debut solo exhibition of Shelby Corso, on view now through May 21. “Even further beyond thought- is the sky I watched as a child. With Love, from Earth” is composed of paintings, drawings and sculptures, which are thoughtfully grouped together to describe the experience of being an inhabitant of and a witness to life on planet Earth. The show was curated by Julia Harmon.

Corso often sources imagery from nature, stories, found objects, dreams and imagination, working somewhere between abstract and representational. The artist works to synthesize visual and emotional information, typically working on a smaller scale to create a more intimate experience between the viewer and the work.

Corso received her BFA in painting in May 2020 from the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore, Maryland, and now lives in Charleston, currently working as a studio artist at Redux.

Corso said she is grateful for Redux to share

her work with the public and calls the experience “incredibly gratifying.”

The first painting in the exhibition, “As Anything, From Everything,” depicts a dreamy, windswept field, which Corso describes as having been painted from the point of view of a bug. This painting was the initial inspiration for the show, said Corso.

“I finished ‘As Anything, From Everything,’ and I was overcome with a sense of happiness and a weird, sweet sadness thinking about bugs … the painting serves as a reminder that when we watch the sunset and think about our lives … so do the little slugs in your garden.”

The show is inspired by experiences from the artist’s daily life, including her personal rituals and musings on existence. The exhibition title, “Even further beyond thoughtis the sky I watched as a child. With Love, from Earth” is a sort of poem about “that which is beyond description,” said Corso.

“Simply put, it’s about being a little creature on Earth, and keeping with that sense of wonder … the world is built for you (and CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

ferent perspectives,” said Erica Veal, project archivist and interpretation specialist for the Avery Center. “Whether they were educators, maybe incorporating some of the things that were going on into their classroom. Those are kind of the things we want to gather from the extended community.”

“The Broadening Narratives program seeks to both highlight underrepresented stories of the region and ensure that the communities are full partners in how those narratives are told,” said Kerri Forrest, director of Lowcountry programs for the Donnelley Foundation. Documenting the Arc joins Seashore Farmers Lodge, previously reported on in City Paper, as the first major investments from this new program. “Both projects present new aspects of the African American experience in the Lowcountry that go beyond the dominant slavery narrative.”

Those interested in submitting works to Documenting the Arc will first fill out a community interest form, informing the Avery team on what kind of work you’re interested in sharing. Then someone from the team will reach out about collecting the donation. Those interested can submit as much as they’d like and submissions can be made anonymously if preferred. It is encouraged that submissions not identify or

Travyon Martin Rally at the U.S. Customs House in 2013 have information that could identify individuals who took part in protests.

“The project is compelling because of its unique approach to telling the history of the civil rights movement in the Lowcountry,” said Forrest. “Instead of starting in the longago past of Reconstruction, or the 1960s, by using the Black Lives Matter movement, this project is collecting and contextualizing civil rights history in progress.”

An entire outline of the submission process can be found at avery.cofc.edu/documenting-the-arc-community-portal. The Avery Center will be accepting submissions through June 30, 2022. There is plenty of time for anyone who created art inspired by the Black Lives Movement to share it with Avery, and potentially, with the future.

therefore, for everything), and how precious that is.”

“The original prompt I gave myself in putting this show together was to try and collect information that I would show to an alien about Earth, and that sort of evolved into including the idea of growing up, and observing how my relationship with nature has changed and how in some ways it has stayed consistent.”

The exhibition is in Gallery 1056 at Redux, which is essentially a hallway space.

Curating the show with Harmon, Corso explained how unique space limitations brought inspiration.

“A hallway is a pretty untraditional space to have a gallery in, so there are certain things that you can’t take for granted,” she said. “The work is going to be facing each other at close proximity ... it allowed for all of the work to interact back and forth instead of just hanging next to one another.”

This is especially evident in two artworks which serve as mirrors to one another: The largest painting in the show “Epiphany” is situated directly across from the sculptural work “Happy Tears (dewdrops).” The title “Happy Tears (dewdrops)” she said, comes from the idea of dewdrops as the tears of a crying flower.

“Epiphany,” explained Corso, “is both a

Courtesy Shelby Corso

“Happy Tears (dewdrops)” (right) next to “Urn for Deceased Plants” and “Pearl Necklace” diptych, all by Corso sudden realization, and, mythologically, when an old spirit comes to give you information.”

In both cases, she said, an epiphany is a manifestation of something divine.

“The center of the piece is a ghost in the shape of ‘Happy Tears’. So, when we look at ‘Epiphany’ with our back to ‘Happy Tears,’ we are seeing through her eyes (and therefore, nature’s eyes). When we look at ‘Happy Tears’ with our back to ‘Epiphany,’ we take on the view of the ghost, and we can see a

person’s face in the flower … It is a metaphor — that which is looked into, looks back.”

Ritual, and the evidence of it, is an important element of Corso’s work. This is especially apparent in her sculpture, “Urn for deceased plants,” a beautiful vessel containing dead flowers. “I think the idea of throwing away dead plants, flushing goldfish and running roadkill over until it is but a stain on the ground is really unsettling,” Corso said. “I wanted to make a resting

place for my plants when they die, out of respect for them and the important connection we have with them. I am interested in cycles and passages … and rituals are events that facilitate transformation or movement between states of being. So I like to make references to these rituals, whether they are official and public, or personal ones that aren’t shared with anyone.”

Returning to the studio day after day, trying to create objects that contain some sort of meaningful artmaking is, to Corso, a ritualistic act in itself.

In the exhibition, Corso pairs sculptures and paintings together in a way that is both playful and symbolic. “For example, the drawing, ‘Thinking of You,’ was paired with my three ‘Primordial Selves,’” she said.

“These works speak to the idea of feeling your feelings in your body, as opposed to intellectualizing them. These works were made within months of each other with many paintings in between, but when I saw them all together it just felt right.”

What does Corso hope viewers take away from her show? “I hope that people remember what it felt like to see things as a child,” she said. “I hope that the work makes them feel something a little more deeply, and that it gives them a renewed sense of the importance of nature, and I hope it makes them realize that they are nature …

I hope it makes them wonder if the flowers and trees are watching and listening.”

Kaminsky’s Avondale focuses on production

By Michael Pham If you were in the Avondale area in March, and walked up to Kaminsky’s for dessert or a dessert drink, you were met with a sign announcing the closure of the location. As of March 17, Kaminsky’s at 2 Magnolia Road ceased being a full-service restaurant.

But that doesn’t mean it’s actually closed.

The building remains as a production kitchen not only for Kaminsky’s but Homegrown Hospitality’s other restaurants, T-Bonz Gill and Grill and Pearlz. The location now handles local deliveries and pick-ups and even nationwide shipping.

Kaminsky’s has been selling its cakes and sweet treats through a site called GoldBelly, according to Avondale’s only full-time employee Lizzie Slabaugh. “We have a lot of our staples on there now,” she said.

Slabaugh holds the Avondale kitchen down, handling duties from baking cheesecakes, overseeing restaurant pick-up orders and all orders placed through GoldBelly. She declined to say exactly why the Avondale location ceased dining service, but the change allowed her to focus more on recipebuilding and stretch her creative muscles.

“It’s actually kind of created a little calmer environment for me,” Slabaugh said.

“I get to focus more on being creative and doing some more recipe development. It’s actually been really good.”

Whole Kaminsky’s cakes and cheesecakes like their sugar cookie dough or chocolate funfetti cakes can be ordered for local pick up at the Avondale location by calling (854) 429-1777 or local shipping through kaminskys.com. Nationwide shipping is available at goldbelly.com. The original Kaminsky’s, of course, is still open and serving at 78 N. Market Street.

The family-run institution first opened in 1988, just before Hurricane Hugo hit, nearly destroying it.

Co-founder and creative director Kate Towill helmed the renovation behind the space and transformed it into a space somewhat akin to the cozy cabin of a 1970s-era sailboat. Sullivan’s Fish Camp is open Tues.-Sun. for dinner from 5-10 p.m. and 11 a.m.-3 p.m. for lunch on Sat. and Sun.—MP

with bureaucracy. Overall, it’s been great though, and we have the best, most incredible contractors and architects. They have helped us along the way with floor plans and navigating some of these things because we’re just doing it all ourselves.”

Coincidentally, Baguette Magic beat out WildFlour Pastry as Best Bakery two years ago, but the coincidences don’t stop there. “Sam and I used to go to WildFlour for cinnamon rolls on Sundays and it was like a big thing when we both moved back to Charleston,” said Paula. “We were big fans. Our real estate agent — who’s also my best friend and convinced us to buy Baguette Magic — she put WildFlour in that building. So she was their agent for that when they signed the lease there. I called her and I was like, ‘They’re not doing anything with that space, it’s closed all the time. Can you reach out?’ And she said, ‘Oh yeah, I know the owner.’ And then she told me the story.”

Since securing the new site, the two have spent hours repainting and redecorating the former WildFlour space, building shelving and redoing the floor in the back.

The new Baguette Magic will be “significantly smaller” than its sister location on James Island and won’t carry the full Baguette Magic menu. The sisters say it’s going to be retail, coffee and pastries with grab-and-go options. “It’s been a huge

Free Will Astrology ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The only way to the truth is through blasphemy,” declared Aries author Flannery O’Connor. I appreciate the cheeky sentiment, but I don’t believe that all truth requires blasphemy. In many cases, rebellion, irreverence and skepticism may be enough to pry loose hidden and buried information. Outright blasphemy isn’t necessary. What does this have to do with you? Well, I’m hoping you will be feisty and audacious in your quest for interesting truths. As you dig, I invite you to be less than perfectly polite. Don’t be rude or unkind, of course. Just be charmingly bold.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “I am so beautiful, sometimes people weep when they see me,” declares comedian Margaret Cho. I would love for you to summon her level of self-esteem and bravado in the coming weeks. According to my interpretation of the astrological omens, you now have the right and duty to boost your self-worth. All of creation is conspiring with you to develop more faith in yourself.

And if you do the work to deepen your confidence and self-esteem, there will be an added bonus: a health breakthrough. As spiritual author Caroline Myss says, “Belief in oneself is required for healing.” My prediction: You will rouse an enhanced power to get the soul medicine you need.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): According to the blogger Artemisiasea, “The grandeur of life is the attempt, not the solution. It’s about behaving as beautifully as one can under completely impossible circumstances; making room for what breathes in the presence of the attempt — in the coming-to-be.” I invite you to embrace that wisdom in the coming weeks, Gemini.

You won’t be dealing with impossible circumstances, but you may have to navigate your way through fascinating brainteasers and heart riddles. Whatever your destination might turn out to be, enjoy the ride with all the verve you can summon. At least for now, put aside your longing for particular results and instead simply live your life as if it were a magnificent work of art.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It will be in your interest to change more than usual in the coming weeks. I suppose you could wait around passively and scramble to adjust as life flings challenges your way. But the better approach would be to make conscious decisions about how you want to transform.

Identify the situations that would most benefit from modification and then initiate the transitions. Rather than depending on fate to provide you with random wake-up calls, choose constructive wake-up calls that are fun and invigorating.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “If everyone likes you, it probably means you aren’t saying much,” declared politician Donna Brazile. I suspect you will disprove her theory in the coming weeks. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you will have a lot to say; your communications will be even more interesting than usual. And yet, I also expect you will receive extra respect and appreciation from others.

While you may articulate ideas that are challenging to some, you will do so with enough charisma to disarm agitated reactions. A winning combination: expressiveness and approval.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Have you heard of Virgo adventurer Reinhold Messner? The man is a marvel, and not just because he’s a passionate environmental activist. He was the first mountaineer to reach the top of Mt. Everest alone, as well as the first to ascend Everest without supplemental oxygen. No one before him had ever climbed all 14 of the world’s peaks higher than 26,000 feet. He has transited Greenland and Antarctica without the aid of dog sleds or snowmobiles. He also completed a solo trip across the Gobi Desert. I propose we make Messner your inspirational role model for the next four weeks. You may not achieve history-making triumphs like him, but you could surpass what you assumed were your limits. I trust that you will break at least one of your personal records.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “The world is a very puzzling place. If you’re not willing to be puzzled, you just become a replica of someone else’s mind.”

Author Noam Chomsky said that. It’s useful counsel

By Rob Brezsny

for you right now. I’ll go even further. I will advise you to relish the healthy pleasures of being both mysterious and mystified. Seek out fertile enigmas and be a fertile enigma yourself. Explore the rejuvenating wisdom of being indefinable and uncategorizable.

Exult in the quizzical joys of Eternal Paradox.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Have you ever contemplated the beauty of the people and animals you care for and thought, “I would love to give them the strongest blessings I have to give, the smartest love I can express, and the best listening I’m able to provide.” If so, Scorpio, the coming days will be an excellent time to do that. You will have an extra capacity to offer exceptional gifts that are useful and inspirational. You will be at the peak of your ability to hone in on what your beloveds need.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian author Madeleine L’Engle told us, “The discoveries don’t come when you’re looking for them. They come when for some reason you’ve let go conscious control.” That approach isn’t absolutely true, but it may be useful for you to deploy in the coming weeks. I invite you to relinquish at least a modicum of your conscious control. And if zesty discoveries start flowing in, consider relinquishing even a bit more conscious control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Is it a legend or a true story? Scholars disagree about whether Capricorn scientist Isaac Newton really was spurred to formulate the theory of gravity when an apple fell from the tree he was sitting beneath. This much is certain: Newton lived in the home near the famous apple tree. And that tree is alive today, 380 years after his birth. Ripe apples still fall from it. Is there an equivalent landmark or keystone from your own past, Capricorn — where an important insight arose or pivotal event happened? The coming weeks would be a good time to revisit that power spot, at least in your imagination, in quest of fresh inspiration.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian poet Jack Gilbert devoted himself to soulful beauty. I swooned when I first read his line, “We must unlearn the constellations to see the stars.” I cried for joy when he said, “We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world.”

On the other hand, I suspect Jack may have been overly consumed with his pursuit of lyrical moments.

His girlfriend Linda Gregg said, “All Jack ever wanted to know was that he was awake — that the trees in bloom were almond trees — and to walk down the road to get breakfast. He never cared if he was poor or had to sleep on a park bench.” I bring this up, dear Aquarius, hoping you will avoid Gilbert’s lack of attention to practical matters. In the coming weeks, I invite you to be your extravagant, idiosyncratic, interesting self to the max. But also be sure to eat healthy food, engage in pleasurable exercise and get plenty of rejuvenating sleep — preferably in a comfortable bed rather than on a park bench.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The Uberfacts Twitter account informs me that if you were to consume the amount of food equivalent to what a hummingbird eats, you would eat 300 hamburgers or 7,800 cabbages per day. To match the amount of exercise a hummingbird gets while burning all those calories, you’d have to do approximately 37 bazillion jumping jacks. You will never do this, of course. But in the coming weeks, you may be more metaphorically hungry than usual. I predict you will be voracious for new information and novel experiences and fresh ideas. Not 300 hamburgers or 7,800 cabbages’ worth — but still, a lot. My advice: Have fun being insatiably curious and greedy for stimulation.

Eclectic singer Elise Testone drops new song

Local five-piece Little Bird is an amalgam of soul, funk and rock influences from G Love & Special Sauce and Hiatus Kaiyote to Stevie Wonder

The refreshing, modern sounds of Charleston’s Little Bird

By Chelsea Grinstead Local experimental indie quintet Little Bird started with groovy rock reverberations on the debut 2018 album, Familiar, and then took on a different form.

“It wasn’t planned to become more experimental,” said bassist Ben Mossman.

“It was just a collaborative gathering of us seeing what we could do. There was no overarching ‘we wanna do this.’ It just happened to come out that way.”

Along with Mossman, Little Bird consists of guitarist/vocalist Jay Hurtt, guitarist/ vocalist James Rubush, keyboardist Noah Jones and drummer Oleg Terentiev. Their follow-up project was the three part EP, Proxima, a chronology pieced together throughout 2020 that captured Little Bird’s technical prowess as the band sonically interpreted an imaginative theme.

“We set out to do this really intense kind of Dark Side of the Moon-style record,” Terentiev said. “There’s a lot of message and subliminal content.”

“It’s the story of us coming together,” Jones added. “If you listen to that album from start to finish, you really can get a glimpse into how we came to be a creative body as Little Bird.”

Little Bird pivoted once again with the material compiled for the upcoming album, Sweet Happy Life. The band has a loose grip on the approach to the new album, producing alternate styles of songs with varied vocal takes and instrumental versions. The new music is created from a space where the song could change at any moment and with a focus on emotion more than storytelling.

“This time around we’re making fun songs that are a good time,” Terentiev said.

“I’m not really trying to overthink everything too much because we had so much time during the pandemic. I remember I did so many drum takes, and I was obsessed with nitpicking things. This time around it’s more relaxed.”

While Familiar was a nostalgic body of work exploring the roots of identity and

Proxima harnessed a futuristic tale of uncertainty, Sweet Happy Life will exist with little contextual restraint.

“Really it’s almost no thought at all — from introspective to outerspective to no thought at all,” Hurtt said. “There’s no grand master plan.

“We’re doing without doing — we’re becoming pure essence,” Rubush said with a laugh.

Hurtt concurred: “We’re done searching.

We know what we need to do, and we’re just gonna do it.”

Another outlet during the COVIDrelated shutdown, besides crafting Proxima, was producing for other music acts in the band’s home studio, Mega Hot Records. “There were no gigs, so that was our gig,” Terentiev said.

Mega Hot Records has currently relocated to the house next to Wolfgang Zimmerman’s Montford Avenue studio, The Space, marking a new chapter for the band.

Tin Roof sets up triple-bill rock show Local rock groups Harper’s Gambit and Social Void will share the bill at Tin Roof Charleston with Nashville-based exploratory rock trio Sound&Shape at 9 p.m., May 23.

Harper’s Gambit came onto the Charleston scene in 2020 with easy listening indie rock. The band consists of bassist/vocalist Jake Schoenberg, guitarist/vocalist Derek Tuck and drummer Brandon Bryant. Social Void debuted in 2017 with Propeller and have since released Resurrection Choir in 2020.

Vocalist Elise Testone may have relocated to Rhode Island, but she is a frequent fixture in the Charleston music scene.

Testone just dropped a new single “Mama, I Love You” on Mother’s Day. In the spirit of the holiday, it’s all about her mama. Her deep voice pushes the country rock ballad forward above a fluttering acoustic and piano arrangement dotted with electric riffs.

She takes the stage at Pour House for an all-ages show 6:30 p.m., May 27, performing as Elise Testone and the E.T. Collective with members of local ensemble Black Noyze. —CG

Singer Lanetra King’s debut single “Sufficient” is as poised and confident as it gets.

Fortified by a slinky, minimalist arrangement that harkens back to early 2000s R&B, King delivers her uplifting gospel message with a full, fluttery style that solidifies her standing as a seasoned music industry veteran.

Although the Lowcountry native grew up singing in the church choir and playing organ at her grandmother’s house, she never considered making music professionally.

“Music was something that I ran away from for a very long time, because of my own personal insecurities and feeling like I wasn’t good enough,” King admitted. “I was very shy when I sang. It’s funny, at my single release party, some people were there from the church I grew up in and they were like, ‘Wow, I didn’t know you had it in you!’ ” King is getting into music after having established an impressive publicist business, something which she had assumed would be her primary pursuit. But in 2017, she felt a calling to pursue music as well. “I really felt that God dropped in my spirit to embark on this in faith,” she said.

Her business connections would soon come in handy. King would eventually be connected with Grammy-winning producer and songwriter Jovan Dawkins, who produced “Sufficient” over the course of a few days in Los Angeles.

“He heard [the song] and wanted to put his own twist on it,” King recalled. The producer also brought in Candice Wakefield to make some subtle changes. Wakefield is a gifted vocalist and songwriter whose credits include records by Nicki Minaj, Fantasia and Robin Thicke.

“She’s so encouraging and uplifting and has such a way with melody,” King said of Wakefield’s contributions. “She changed around a few words, and changed the melody, and then it became what it is today.”

King plans to release more singles and eventually an EP, but wants to give “Sufficient” time for a full promotional run. Her hope is that her R&B-heavy sound and style can bring her message of

Current collaborations for the upcoming album feature powerhouse Doom Flamingo vocalist Kanika Moore and Tennesseebased synth rock outfit Okey Dokey.

The new track “It Be Like That” started from a demo on which Jones’ was playing organ on his cell phone and the yet unnamed track with Moore on vocals sprang from an organic live session, reflecting Little Bird’s unconfined and collaborative songwriting method.

Publicist-turned-singer Lanetra King debuts her rhythm and blues gospel song, “Sufficient” hope and peace to a wide audience.

“I want to catch them with that R&B feel, but have that inspirational message that they may not have been expecting,” she said.

“My goal is to reach everyday people who may not even set foot in church and give them a chance to be inspired by this music.”

“You find fulfillment in your art through the community, becoming a part of building a community around yourself,” Rubush said.

The idea behind the band’s ongoing production of the new album is that meaning is derived from working together and strengthening and deepening relationships.

Before Little Bird heads out on a national tour in August, the group plays a May 20 show at the newly reopened Music Farm with pop band Cry Baby and Brooklynbased alt rockers Tennis Courts.

“Sweet Happy Life, what it’s turning

into, is more of a current view of oneself,” Jones said. “We’ve had the past and we’ve had the future and now we’re looking at it as the present and how can you make this life that we all are experiencing a sweet happy life, because everyone wants that.

We have a lot more power in our own lives than we think we do.

“To me [the new music is] turning into this concept and embracing your truest self and being unapologetic about it. Just thinking about the little things: complimenting someone on their shoes. Just being the good you want to see in the world.”

Mayor’s Greeting

Welcome

to the 2022 Piccolo Spoleto Festival, which once more promises to share and celebrate Charleston’s boundless creativity and artistic achievement. Each May, going back some 45 years, our local arts community has come together in the spirit of collaboration and partnership to create the perfect complement to the global aspirations of Spoleto Festival USA. This year, we assertively do so again, and we applaud the return of many Piccolo Spoleto traditions that were disrupted in recent seasons and are now set to lead us to forward as the arts bring us together as a community. artists and arts enthusiasts throughout our community, and I want to acknowledge all of the outstanding artists and appreciative audience members who will make the 2022 Piccolo Spoleto Festival an absolute triumph.

I also want to thank the staff of the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs and the team of dedicated community volunteers and arts leaders who bring Piccolo Spoleto to life.

I very much hope you will join us in celebrating everything that Charleston and Piccolo Spoleto have to offer. It is always such an amazing time of the year as music, joy, and laughter spill out beyond our concert halls and auditoriums, transforming our city with artistry, whimsy and fun. Please be sure to join us, and bring along your family, friends and neighbors. I look forward to seeing you all at Piccolo Spoleto.

Piccolo Spoleto truly offers something for everyone, charting 17 days and nights that resound with unbridled creativity, animating our galleries and theatres, historic houses of worship, public plazas, courtyards and gardens, and, of course, the City’s beloved and beautiful parks. It is a Charleston tradition that endures and grows richer with each new season.

From our curtain raising Sunset Serenade concert with the Charleston Symphony at the US Custom House, to the Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibition at Marion Square, to neighborhood pop-ups and spontaneous performances, the festival is a reflection of both grand aspirations and small gestures. I hope you will all find moments of inspiration, repose, reflection, and even some giddy excitement in what the festival has to offer.

The arts have remained resilient through the disruptions of the past few years and we salute Charleston’s artists and audiences alike for their resolve and tenacity to continue to create beauty and cultural vibrancy. Piccolo Spoleto is a direct reflection of the dedication and generosity of

About the Festival 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, craft 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 admission-free, with the balance offered at affordable prices.

In addition to the Festival’s visual arts, artisan crafts exhibitions and public art installations, performances are being planned for outdoor settings in Charleston’s parks. Events are scheduled for the City’s larger parks in formats that accommodate social distancing and smaller neighborhood pop-up events will be announced the week of the event to ensure that the weather will accommodate the performance.

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 40 with each specializing in a particular discipline, genre or period.

Applications for the 2023 Piccolo Spoleto Festival will be available online in the autumn at PiccoloSpoleto.com.

Piccolo Spoleto 2022 MAY 27–JUNE 12, 2022

Series offers healing, beautiful sounds

By Michael Smallwood International award-winning harpist Abigail Kent has spent her entire life in Charleston, and has been a part of its music scene for most of that time. She is excited about being one of the performers in an exceptional 2022 Piccolo Spoleto Chamber Music series, which will feature unique performances from world-class musicians who call Charleston home.

“I’ve performed in both Piccolo Spoleto as well as the Spoleto Festival Orchestra in the past, and it’s always a wonderful time to make music,” said Kent. “Especially in the midst of so many things going on in the world, it’s healing to perform music for others.”

Kent, who will perform 6 p.m. June 6 at Cannon Street Arts Center, has been a featured harp soloist for the World Harp Congress in Hong Kong, silver medalist for

the 2019 Medallion International Concerto Competition and 2020 finalist for the Young Concert Artists International Auditions.

She also works locally as the harp faculty for the College of Charleston, as well as the principal harpist for the Charleston Symphony Orchestra. Her June 6 show will feature a collection of solos alongside numbers that pair the harp with flute or piano. One such piece is Sonata by Nino Rota, who is best known for composing the Academy Awardwinning soundtrack to The Godfather.

“I hope audiences can see how diverse the harp can be,” said Kent. “And also that they take away a moment of joy or curiosity from the variety of music.”

The series continues to grow

sees growing audiences every single year.

The 2021 Bank of America Chamber Music Series, a staple of Spoleto Festival USA, sold out weeks ahead of the start of the festival.

The Piccolo Spoleto edition will no doubt see excited crowds hungry for the intimate sounds of strings and woodwinds.

In addition to Kent in the series are notable local Charleston musicians Natalia Khoma, Yuriy Bekker and Regina Helcher

Yost. Khoma will be joined by longtime collaborator Volodymyr Vynnystksy, and Bekker will play with Gary Levinson and the CSO String Quartet.

Khoma is a cellist with credits and accolades all over the world. Locally, Khoma works as an associate professor of cello at the College of Charleston and serves as director of the Charleston Music Fest. Vynnystksy joins Khoma on piano and the two Ukrainian musicians make a pairing that “epitomizes elegance of execution, virtuosic technique, a sense of internal drama and the merging of two artists playing as one,” according to Ukrainian journalist Dzerkalo Tyzhnya.

The duo will perform at 6 p.m.on June 4 at Second Presbyterian Church, 342 Meeting St.

A chance to hear rare violins Bekker is the concertmaster and Principal

cian, and serves locally as the adjunct professor of flute at Charleston Southern University. She also works with Chamber Music Charleston.

Yost has not only performed the world over, with major showcases in the United States, Switzerland, France and Italy, but she has also been the cover feature artist for an issue of Flute Talk magazine in 2015. Yost performs 7 p.m. June 2 at Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church.

2022 is the first year the church will host a Piccolo Spoleto event.

“Audiences…shouldn’t be afraid to hear works by living composers,” said Yost. “Not all living composers write music that is challenging to listen to or understand.”

Yost will be premiering an arrangement

by Herman Beeftink. “Beeftink’s work is amazingly beautiful and tuneful and I’m sure they will love it!”

Sunset Serenade will bring back some musical magic

By Michael Smallwood For Yuriy Bekker, the Charleston Symphony’s opening night performance during Piccolo Spoleto is going to be a touching celebration for the Holy City.

“When Hurricane Hugo came through Charleston [in 1989], the Symphony, a few days later, performed a free concert for the community at the Custom House,” said Bekker, the critically-acclaimed conductor and violinist who will lead the May 30 free performance. “So people haven’t showered [then] because nothing was working and there’s no water, but for one moment, it brought so much peace to folks.”

He is betting the same magic works this year.

“I hope that this concert, after pandemic pains, brings peace and brings our commu-

nity together and we’ll celebrate. Celebrate each other. Pay tribute to our heroes. Pay tribute to people in need in Ukraine. With music we have a lot to say and contribute.”

This year, the free concert will feature the Charleston Symphony performing a collection of incredible musical pieces.

Audiences will delight in hearing from such acclaimed composers as Georges Bizet, George Gershwin, Antonín Dvorák and John Williams.

“It’s truly a staple in our community,” Bekker said. “It brings [the] community together and it’s kind of a big foundation of Piccolo Spoleto. It highlights local talent. It will be very much fun to bring everyone together.”

The show will begin with the National Anthem before going into John Williams’ Summon the Heroes. Anyone who watches

Led by conductor Yuriy Bekker, the Charleston Symphony returns to present the Sunset Serenade, an opening night tradition since 1989. any Olympics coverage will recognize the big, brassy, epic anthem.

“I want to dedicate this work to our frontline workers,” said Bekker. “I wanted to dedicate it to the heroes.”

Concert is a Piccolo tradition Sunset Serenade is a Piccolo Spoleto tradition as old as the festival itself. The history

of the annual curtain raiser for the city’s arts celebration dates back to the early 80s. That history came to a halt in 2020, when the festival itself was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sunset Serenade did not return with the festival in 2021 either. Lack of vaccinations and the ongoing pandemic discouraged artists from returning safely. In its place was a small string quartet perfor-

Williams to celebrate his 90th birthday with a big October showcase. In addition to its opener, the symphony will give a nod to world events by performing a piece by Ukrainian composer Myroslav Skoryk, a renowned composer who had performed in Charleston with the Charleston Symphony before his death in 2020.

“It’s a really beautiful and solemn piece, and I wanted to dedicate it to the people of Ukraine,” Bekker said.

Anthonín Dvorák’s New World Symphony will be performed during the Serenade. Dvorák’s work helped legitimize the American, or “New World,” sound in the late 1800s. There will also be pieces from George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, a show which is no stranger to Charleston audiences. Porgy and Bess was performed during Spoleto Festival USA in 2016. Jason S. McKinney, an acclaimed bass-baritone singer, will join the CSO for these arias, as well as a number of other selections.

The Serenade will also include a medley of New Orleans jazz and will end with Stars and Stripes. Bottom line: It’s a jam-packed fun evening of music for Charleston audiences that’s not to be missed.

The Charleston Symphony will be returning Michael Smallwood is contributing arts editor later this year to perform music by John for Charleston City Paper.

anetra Richardson has worked in nearly every part of the kitchen. After moving to Charleston in 2008, she worked for four years at Magnolia’s before landing a job in the pastry department at the Ocean Course Clubhouse at Kiawah Island Golf Resort. There, she honed her craft and put her creativity to the test.

Richardson launched Swank Desserts in March 2015 as an online-only shop, but after acquiring a sizable following, shen opened a Summerville storefront in November 2019 “to offer desserts that were unique and creative,” she said.

Sweet treats offered daily And she succeeded.

mance during the Art Walk.

But now, after a two-year hiatus, Piccolo Spoleto will mount its popular musical opener from the steps of the historic U.S. Custom House. Bekker said he is very excited to see the full Serenade brought back to the festival.

“For some people, it’s the only time they have a chance to see the Symphony,” said Bekker. The idea for the original Serenade concert is attributed to former Charleston Mayor Joe Riley. The first editions of the Serenade were late concerts which started at 9 p.m. These early versions were more block parties than the current, more subdued affair. The concert now starts at 8 p.m., and people are encouraged to bring their own chairs for an easy night out.

The Serenade typically draws in hundreds of people, some already subscribers to the Symphony’s seasons, but many of whom will be getting an introduction to the work of Charleston’s premiere classical music company. It drives local Charlestonians and tourists alike to check out the Charleston Symphony throughout the rest of the year.

The symphony is made up of a collection of some of the best musicians in the country. Micah Gangwer, Asako Kremer, Alexander Boissonnault, Jan-Marie Christy Joyce, Alexander Agrest, Norbert Lewandowski and Damian Kremer make up the strings section, playing a collection of violin, violas, and cellos. The woodwind section is Jessica Hull-Dambaugh, Regina Helcher-Yost, Zachary Hammond, Kari Kistler, Charles Messersmith, Gretchen Roper and Katherine St. John. On brass are Brandon Nichols, Anne Holmi, Christopher Lindgren, Thomas Joyce, and Antonio Martí. Beth Albert and Ryan Laveille round out the sound as the percussion section.

Family-Friendly Programming

Don’t be scared, the wildly upredictable, local ukulele/jug band V-Tones are for the whole family.

Piccolo pop-ups connect neighborhoods to annual festival Neighborhood parks and public places around Charleston will transform into pop-up performance spaces throughout this year’s Piccolo Spoleto Festival from May 27 to June 12.

Scott Watson, director of the City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs, said ensuring the arts are accessible to everyone is at the heart of the outreach program.

While the Spoleto Festival USA and Piccolo Spoleto Festivals has meant art programming was happening in Charleston, parking concerns or waiting too long to buy tickets meant a big local audience wasn’t engaging with either festival, he said.

“Our attitude was this was entirely a missed opportunity to intervene and just bring the

arts directly to people, particularly families, right in their backyard,” said Watson.

How the program popped up The pop-up program as it exists today was formalized between 2014 and 2015 after several years of trial runs. Watson’s team works with neighborhood service staff, council members and neighborhood self-nominations to select geographically diverse pop-up locations across the peninsula. Then, a roster of local artists–such as The V-Tones of Charleston–bring free, family friendly entertainment to their neighbors’ backyards.

“Putting in those pop-ups, like in Allen

Park or the Greenway, is a way to saturate the art of Charleston down into the neighborhoods and make it easier for parents and kids to get out,” said Noodle McDoodle, The V-Tones’s co-founder and ukulele player. “And personally, our band is a little anarchic, so we’re always interested in doing free, fun, interesting shows and playing situations that are new to us.”

Because the pop-ups focus on family friendly programming and not all kids are (or can be) vaccinated, Watson said they aren’t planning any large-scale pop-up events that would draw large, concentrated crowds. The outdoor nature of the venues, though, means there will still be plenty of pop-up options to choose from.

“Now that we’ve had years of the pandemic, it really made us value live performances, and it makes every performance really, really special,” McDoodle said.
