From a Keowee concert attendee on the magic of Pretty Place:

"I’m sure you’ve heard this a thousand times before, but that setting, when the weather is right, is a mind-blower! As you observe the cascading cloud shadows and sun-peeking spotlights of gold marching across the distant ridges – upstaged, listening and looking down upon bobbing silhouettes in symphony – can you imagine the euphoria that surely must grip the audience?"
