SUMMARY:sov·er·eign·ty: Expressions in Sovereignty of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians
DESCRIPTION:On view from March 15\, 2024 through February 28\, 2025\, ‘sov·er·eign·ty: Expressions in Sovereignty of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians’ illuminates the complexities of tribal sovereignty and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians’ continuing legacy of resilience.\nFeaturing objects sourced from the Museum of the Cherokee People’s own collections\, ‘sov·er·eign·ty’ is designed to educate visitors about the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians’ autonomy\, its relationship with the federal government\, and how the tribe has defined its own relationship with its land\, people\, and culture. \nThe Museum of the Cherokee People is the tribal museum of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI)\, one of three federally recognized Cherokee tribes alongside Cherokee Nation and the United Keetowah Band of Cherokee Indians. The EBCI is a self-governed\, autonomous nation with over 16\,000 enrolled members living around the world—it has its own laws\, elections\, and government—and is the only federally recognized Tribal Nation within the boundaries of what is currently known as North Carolina.  \nIn this exhibition\, visitors will learn how\, through adaptability and innovation\, the EBCI has combated attempts to eradicate\, remove\, and assimilate its people and remained on the Qualla Boundary—57\,000 acres (0.00067661% of the original Cherokee territory) which is owned by the EBCI and held in trust by the federal government.

SUMMARY:Exhibition | Forces of Nature: Ceramics from the Hayes Collection
DESCRIPTION:Ceramic artists throughout history have become masters of all four elements—creating clay from a mixture of earth and water to shape their work\, drying it in air\, and hardening it in fire. Throughout this process\, the artist decides which aspects of the work will be tightly controlled\, and when the elements can step in to leave nature’s mark. This exhibition traces the historical\, stylistic\, and conceptual origins of work that either embraces or refuses the element of chance in ceramics\, looking at modern and contemporary work made in Western North Carolina.

SUMMARY:Blue Ridge Orchestra's "March Melodrama"
DESCRIPTION:ASHEVILLE\, NC −The Blue Ridge Orchestra continues celebrating its 25th Anniversary Season with two performances of “March Melodrama”.  Franklin Keel\, Asheville’s talented musician\, cellist\, and composer who has made several solo appearances with the BRO\, will lead the orchestra as Guest Conductor. \nPlease join the Blue Ridge Orchestra for two afternoons of orchestral favorites at 3:00 pm: on Saturday\, March 1st\, and Sunday\, March 2nd in Lipinsky Auditorium\, UNC Asheville. We open March Melodrama with Gluck’s dramatic Overture to Iphigenie in Aulis. The BRO then highlights pianist Ivan Seng in Mozart’s Concerto No. 23 in A major\, K. 488.  The second half of the program shifts to Dvorak’s Symphony no. 8 in G major\, which takes its inspiration from the nature and folk music of his homeland Bohemia\, presently the Czech Republic. \nBlue Ridge Orchestra Music Director Emily Mariko Eng says of the program: “We wanted this March program to explore emotions in their extremes. As winter nears its end\, we have all spent probably too much time alone with our thoughts and internal dialogues; we have felt joy\, despair\, hopelessness\, optimism\, anxiety\, peace\, loneliness\, connection\, struggle\, triumph… “March Melodrama” captures all of that\, through the musical voices of Mozart\, Dvorak\, and Gluck. The Blue Ridge Orchestra looks forward to making these characters come to life!”  \nMarch Melodrama is the second offering of Blue Ridge Orchestra’s 25th Anniversary season\, which expresses WNC’s reflection and resilience after Hurricane Helene.   \nSaturday\, March 1st\, 2025\, 3:00 pm\nSunday\, March  2nd\, 2025\, 3:00 pm\nUNC Asheville\nLipinsky Auditorium\n300 Library Lane\nAsheville\, NC. 28804 \nTickets:\nGeneral Admission: $20\nFriends of the Orchestra: $15\nStudents: $5\nChildren 6 and under: Free\nInfo: https://blueridgeorchestra.org/march-melodrama-25   Facebook\, Instagram\, or call 828-782-3354.
