Staff reports  |  The Sound of Charleston, the region’s longest-running musical production, will resume weekly shows at Circular Congregational Church at 7 p.m. Sept. 4. 

With more than 500 concerts since 2010, the show highlights the Lowcountry’s rich musical history from gospel spirituals and jazz to the music of George Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess” and light classics of the venerable St. Cecilia Society. During December’s six Holiday Editions, music of the season is added to the show.

After almost a year and a half with no shows, producer Bill Perry said he was excited but nervous about shows in the months ahead:  “Nervous about whether audiences will return to indoor venues and whether we can ensure safety of our audiences and cast members.”
