SUMMARY:GALLERY WALK – JANIE PACKER\, CERAMICS & MIXED MEDIA ARTIST
DESCRIPTION:(FREE) Ceramics artist Janie Packer will join the Lucy Clark Gallery for the August Gallery walk. \nJanie often only has the germ of an idea when she starts a new project\, and she lets a wild dance between her and the clay direct the process. As the work progresses\, it may start to look like a weeping woman\, or a cat with a crown on its head. She lets the dance go on until the basic form emerges. If it makes her smile\, then the refining process begins. Pieces may be fired multiple times until the surface treatment is completed. Regardless of the outcome\, her work deals with the idea of human fragility. It is about compassion for people as they journey from suffering on towards enlightenment.

SUMMARY:Asheville Symphony Masterworks 1: Fellowship
DESCRIPTION:Darko Butorac\, conductor \nJakob Aumiller\, piano \nWhat does genius look like? Often it looks like community. Brahms crafted his exuberant First Piano Concerto through years of collaboration with close friends and mentors\, including Clara Schumann who inspired the concerto’s dreamy second movement. Beethoven’s relentless Seventh Symphony — a personal favorite of his with its unyielding rhythmic drive — premiered at a charity concert performed by an orchestra of friends and fellow composers. Both works emerged from profound creative kinship and community\, proof that greatness rarely stands alone. \nBrahms: Piano Concerto No. 1 \nBeethoven: Symphony No. 7

SUMMARY:Jerry’s Dead: Acoustic Set/Electric Set
DESCRIPTION:STANDING ROOM ONLY \nJERRY’S DEAD\nJerry’s Dead pays tribute to the music of Jerry Garcia. Not exactly a Grateful Dead cover band\, this quartet from Asheville\, North Carolina\, shines a spotlight specifically on songs lead by Jerry Garcia\, who fronted the Grateful Dead in an alternating fashion with his bandmates.

Further extending their tribute\, Jerry’s Dead includes songs lead by Garcia in his many side projects throughout his accomplished career\, including the Jerry Garcia Band and his work with mandolinist David Grisman.

This weekly residency has become a real draw for the band\, creating a space for vendors\, dancers\, and music lovers to commune regularly.\nOn occasion\, Jerry’s Dead has hosted some very special guests\, including Rob Barraco of The Dead\, Dark Star Orchestra\, Phil Lesh Quintet and Zen Tricksters; Lisa Mackey\, also of D.S.O.; Julian Pinelli\, who played fiddle with Peter Rowan\, a bluegrass bandmate of Garcia in Old and in the Way; and Joe Marcinek of the Joe Marcinek Band and Dead Funk Summit\, featuring George Porter Jr. of The Meters and Melvin Seals of the Jerry Garcia Band.
