Spoleto Festival USA's founding director of chamber music dies at 96
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – The founding artistic director of chamber music for Spoleto Festival USA has died at 96, according to festival organizers. 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.

Charles Wadsworth, Pianist and Champion of Chamber Music, Dies at 96
Charles Wadsworth, a pianist who parlayed his Southern charm and his passion for chamber music into a career as the founder, director and host of important chamber series — including the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in New York — and whose work helped propel the chamber music boom that began in the 1970s, died on Thursday at a rehabilitation center on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. He was 96. His death was confirmed by his wife, Susan. During his two decades as director of the Chamber Music Society, Mr. Wadsworth was the face of the organization, likely at any time to stride onto the stage of Alice Tully Hall with a broad grin, tousled blond hair and a boyish gait and offer folksy introductions to the music at hand. 'I discovered very early that when people laugh, they relax,' Mr. Wadsworth told an interviewer in 2014. 'They may be at a chamber music concert for the first time, or they may be unfamiliar with the repertory, but my feeling was that if I could get them relaxed, they would be open to listening, and to letting the music happen to them, rather than worrying about whether they understand it. And that seemed to work very well.' He also performed with the society, playing the piano, harpsichord or even the organ in staples of its repertory as well as some of the oddities he found while assembling the society's programs — works like Anton Arensky's Suite No. 1 for Two Pianos, François Couperin's 'Le Parnasse, ou L'Apothéose de Corelli' or Jan Zelenka's Trio Sonata for Two Oboes, Bassoon and Continuo. But since the society's roster included pianists who by Mr. Wadsworth's own admission were more accomplished, he often deferred to them. His real accomplishments took place behind the scenes. Not least was the creation of the society itself, an organization meant to explore the breadth of the chamber music repertory, regardless of the instrumental (or vocal) combinations required. Mr. Wadsworth assembled a core group of 'artist members' — string, wind and keyboard players with active careers, who would commit to performing with the society throughout the season — alongside guest musicians, who would expand the instrumental possibilities and bring an extra measure of star power.

Dixon's Wadsworth named Scripps National Spelling Bee's national volunteer of the year
May 28—Dixon's Tom Wadsworth has been selected this year's Scripps National Spelling Bee National Volunteer of the Year in recognition of his 43 years as the pronouncer for the Sauk Valley area's spelling bee. The award was announced Monday, May 26, during opening ceremonies in Washington. Wadsworth, 72, first became the pronouncer for the Lee County Spelling Bee in 1983 when he was the morning personality at WSDR radio in Sterling. Over the years, he has declared 43 local champions and sent them to Washington to represent the local bee, which is now the Lee Ogle Whiteside Spelling Bee. "The impact of a good pronouncer is truly invaluable," said Corrie Loeffler, executive director of the Scripps National Bee. "For decades, Tom has given spellers in his region the best chance to shine onstage, thanks to his rare combination of passion and skill." The local bee, organized by Chris Tennyson and Michele Hopp of the Regional Office of Education 47, is held annually at the Dixon High School auditorium. Scripps presented two other national awards Monday. Nikki Montana of the Edwin Forrest Elementary School in Philadelphia received the Educator of the Year award, and the Akron Beacon Journal of Akron, Ohio, received the Regional Partner of the Year award. The National Bee is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The awards were presented at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center near Washington as 243 champion spellers from around the nation gathered to compete for the national champion trophy to be presented Thursday night, May 29. Parker Zimmerly, 14, of Amboy Junior High, the 2025 champion of the Lee Ogle Whiteside regional bee, was eliminated in National Bee competition on Tuesday. After three rounds of competition, 99 spellers have advanced to the quarterfinals. Given the word gelilah, Zimmerly spelled it galeila. In Judaism, gelilah refers to the rolling up of the scroll of the law after reading from it in the synagogue. Zimmerly has been a school champion three times. His mother, Joanie Zimmerly, a second-grade teacher at Amboy Central, is accompanying Parker this week in Washington, Wadsworth said.
