SUMMARY:The Music Of Norah Jones & Bonnie Raitt featuring Lillie Syracuse
DESCRIPTION:Lillie Syracuse’s music pours deep from the heart of the in between. For a decade\, Lillie honed her craft in Nashville\, TN\, where she wrote and released her debut album Coming Up Diamonds in 2020\, with producer and Grammy-nominated drummer Mike Marsh (The Avett Brothers\, Dashboard Confessional). Lillie was raised in Pumpkintown\, SC\, the cradle of Table Rock Mountain. Just as her heart was woven from tree\, waterfall\, birdsong\, and red mountain clay\, so was her songwriting. Lillie’s hope in song-craft is to foster shifts towards a deeper connection with nature\, community\, authenticity\, creativity\, and magic in the lives of those who hear her music. The Appalachian Mountains have now called Lillie home. She lives in Brevard\, NC\, and will be releasing her first self-produced album in 2024. \nSaturday\, November 29th at 7:30 pm – We want everyone to access the healing power of music!

SUMMARY:PERFORMANCE: Tesla Quartet: The Music of Hugo Kauder
DESCRIPTION:BMCM+AC is excited to welcome back The Tesla Quartet! This special performance\, presented in conjunction with our Points in Space exhibition\, will bring to life the music of Hugo Kauder\, who served as composer-in-residence at Black Mountain College during the summer of 1945. The program will feature Kauder’s Seventh String Quartet\, the same work first performed at BMC in 1945\, offering audiences a rare chance to experience this historic piece in a contemporary setting. \nThe Tesla Quartet is known the world over for their “superb capacity to find the inner heart of everything they play\, regardless of era\, style\, or technical demand” (The International Review of Music). From cutting edge contemporary works to established masterpieces\, the Tesla Quartet’s emotive and thoughtful interpretations reveal the ensemble’s deep commitment to the craft and to their ever expanding repertoire. The quartet recognizes the power of their platform to amplify underrepresented voices and to encourage the proliferation of an equitable and just future for society as well as a hospitable climate for posterity. \n“From the outset\, the quartet plays as a single instrument. Their sound is balanced across registers\, their timbres and articulations matched.” –The Classic Review \nThe Tesla Quartet is Ross Snyder (violin)\, Michelle Lie (violin)\, Edwin Kaplan (viola)\, and Austin Fisher (cello).
