Spoleto Festival USA's founding director of chamber music dies at 96
Charles Wadsworth, born in rural Georgia in 1929, was a preeminent leader in the field of chamber music and helped expand the genre's populist appeal both at Spoleto and around the world.
'Presenting innovative programming and a stable of consummate soloists, he charmed audiences, encouraged generations of virtuoso musicians, and developed a concert format that propelled chamber music concerts and festivals worldwide,' the festival said in a news release Friday afternoon.
Wadsworth served Spoleto Festival USA for 50 years until his retirement in 2009. He died Thursday in New York City.
