Charles Wadsworth prizes his Southern connections. He is Savannah's favorite musical host, a friend of thousands of virtuosos, and a world champion of chamber music. His presentation of an all-star concert at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics is well remembered, and his popularity at the Spoleto USA Festival (33 appearances in 2006) is legendary.

Charles WadsworthCharles Wadsworth's career as a pianist, artistic director and musical director is legendary. Honored by cities, states and nations where he is widely acclaimed, he has done more than anyone to promote the many beauties of the chamber music repertoire. To help him celebrate his eightieth birthday in May, we are presenting a special gala concert with the St. Lawrence String Quartet. The winner of several major competitions, the group has performed more than one hundred concerts worldwide annually since its formation in Canada in 1990. They have been the Ensemble in Residence at Stanford University since 1998.

St. Lawrence String QuartetCharles has also been the host of several of our concerts in the previous four years. Triply talented as impresario, pianist and host, he attracts top musicians to his tours, and over the years his audiences add up to millions. Loved for his artistry, his wit and his engaging personality, Wadsworth demonstrates a unique gift for bringing out the essence of each piece on the program with his onstage remarks.

Welcome back, Charles!
