Saint Philip's Church is an iconic landmark in Charleston's French Quarter, where many art galleries and restaurants can be found. The French Quarter is also a busy locale for Spoleto events.

The city of Charleston holds its own version of Spoleto called Piccolo Spoleto. Historic Saint Philip's Church is the venue for one of the Piccolo events, a choral music performance featuring the Singers of Summerville.

  8. What stood out for me straight away here was the contrasting angles. A very well conceived image, then, and presented so beautifully.

    I had a look at that link. How great to have an arts festival like that as a yearly event. I also see there that Charleston has been ranked as a top city!
