The Charleston Gaillard Center is thrilled to announce a special performance in celebration of five years enriching the Charleston community with unforgettable experiences. Held on Sunday, October 18, exactly five years since the Inaugural Concert, the Five-Year Anniversary Celebration will feature a string quartet from the Charleston Symphony Orchestra, Artist-in-Residence and Charleston’s first Poet Laureate Marcus Amaker, and Artist-in-Residence Emeritus and Grammy Award-winning Charlton Singleton. As patron safety remains our first priority, we have implemented numerous measures to allow guests to safely gather within the Martha and John M. Rivers Performance Hall. This celebratory event will have options for patrons to either attend in-person and socially distanced, or experience the show virtually through online streaming.

IN-PERSON OPTION
$25 (PLUS FEES)

Tickets will be sold as “Best Available.” The Ticket Office will seat people based on when they purchased and where they fit best in the hall to meet social distance requirements. Please note: multiple cameras will be present filming the live stream and there will be some obstruction of sight lines depending on final camera placement.

VIRTUAL OPTION – $10

Ticket holders who purchased the live stream by October 15 will receive a link and password for the live stream 24 hours in advance. (Note – If you purchased after October 15, you will receive the link in your email confirmation.)
