I was principal tubist of the Spoleto Festival in both the USA and Italy in 89,91 &92. At that time the two festivals were still connected and therefore were ran basically in the same way with the same administration, music director and about %90 of the orchestra was the same as well. It was truly one of the greatest experiences of my life. I played some incredible rep. including Wagner and Strauss operas, Mahler symphonies as well as alot of other interesting things. I also had the opportunity to meet and play with some world class musicians. I was still a student at the time so this was truly an invaluable experience at exactly the right moment. I honestly donīt know alot about the festival these days but I would probably guess that it is still a positive situation. I have very found memories of my time in both Charleston and Spoleto and hope that others can have the same great experience that I did. Best wishes, Eric
