Post-Helene: Remembering, Rebuilding, Reimagining
Through music, we reflect on the impact of Hurricane Helene, one year later.. This program features: the world premiere of Sinfonietta Helene by Asheville-based composer Jay Sanders; Iman Habibi’s Jeder Baum spricht, which is inspired by the beauty of nature and the impact of climate change; and local composer Phillip Rhodes’s Concerto for Bluegrass, a nod to the resilience of WNC. Help us celebrate the region’s inspiring, resilient culture this fall.
This program is generously sponsored by Ingles.
