SUMMARY:AmiciMusic presents "FOUR-HAND HOLIDAY"
DESCRIPTION:Join AmiciMusic for our wonderful holiday concert tradition!  “FOUR-HAND HOLIDAY” is a fun program featuring jazzy arrangements of holiday classics like Sleigh Ride and Jingle Bells\, Christmas Carols\, plus virtuoso versions of the “Nutcracker Suite” by Tchaikovsky and the “Blue Danube Waltz” by Strauss.  I will be joined by fellow pianist Philip Liston-Kraft from Boston in this fantastic program that will get you in the spirit of the holidays with a truly virtuosic ballet of twenty fingers on a single piano. \nThe Weiser/Liston-Kraft Piano Duo has been described as “simply a force of pianistic energy” who play with “a seamless and tightly knit unity\,” and who “absolutely smoke the 88 keys.” They have been bringing their captivating\, virtuosic\, and high energy performances to audiences across the U.S. for over twenty years. Most certainly the only piano duo who both attended Harvard Law School\, Weiser and Liston-Kraft bring a flair for the dramatic and a high-wire musical choreography that make their concerts a visual and sonic spectacle.

SUMMARY:Dashing Through The Snow
DESCRIPTION:By Jessie Jones\, Nicholas Hope\, and Jamie Wooten\nPresented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing\, LLC\, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com) \nDecember 11-21\, 2025 \nThursday\, 12/11 at 7:30 (pay what you can available 11/27)\nFridays at 7:30\nSaturday at 3 pm\nSundays at 3 pm \nDirector: Abigail Dover Thomas \nApproximate Run Time: 2 hours\, 35 minutes\nRating: PG due to adult content and mild language.  \nFour days before Christmas in Tinsel\, Texas\, a colorful parade of eccentric guests arrive at the Snowflake Inn and deck the halls with holiday hilarity. Trina\, the harried yet upbeat innkeeper of this B&B\, has more than she can handle coping with these nuttier-than-a-fruitcake lodgers. Hoyt and his sister\, Donna Jo\, make the mistake of trying to end a thirty-year feud between their curmudgeonly aunts\, Ennis and Della\, with sidesplitting results. Ainsley and Lenora\, self-involved actors from a lower-than-low-budget touring production of A Christmas Carol\, descend on the Inn to fulfill a promise\, leaving comedic chaos in their wake. Add to this Yuletide mayhem an ill-advised romantic rendezvous between Mrs. Claus and one of Santa’s elves. This demanding guest refuses to leave\, not to mention a tipsy housekeeper\, and it will take more than a kiss under the mistletoe to keep Trina’s spirits merry and bright. But a spur-of-the-moment Christmas Eve wedding that brings together the fabulous Futrelle sisters—Honey Raye\, Twink\, Frankie\, and Rhonda Lynn—and their best friend\, Raynerd\, takes a surprising and delightful turn that leads to a laugh-’till-your-sides-ache climax\, changing all their lives forever.

SUMMARY:Random Act Productions Presents "A Christmas Carol" at NC Stage
DESCRIPTION:Join us at NC Stage for Random Act Productions’ “A Christmas Carol: A Play With Music” December 11th – December 21st \nExperience Charles Dickens’ A CHRISTMAS CAROL the way it was intended. \nFrom 1853 to 1870\, Dickens gave public readings of his story\, touring America and Great Britain — even going so far as to develop the characters and voices for his performances. A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a classic story that is meant to be heard and performed in front of audiences of all ages.\nThis adaptation of A CHRISTMAS CAROL stays true to that original intention. Entirely Dickens’ text\, the play is woven throughout with live music as an actor (and his trusty musician) brings all of the characters to life in vivid detail. A story of redemption and the power of the holiday spirit\, it is also a celebration of the theatre\, where virtuosic acting and a commitment to the power of storytelling brings us all closer together — and to the Christmas spirit in all of us. \nWednesday – Saturday: 7:30pm\, Sunday: 2pm\, + additional show Friday the 19th at 2pm \nAll tickets on a sliding scale from $10-$45

DESCRIPTION:PERFORMANCE: Johnny Loves Johann – Music and Dance\nWith violinist Johnny Gandelsman and choreographers Melissa Toogood and John Heginbotham\nMonday\, December 15\, 2025 at 7PM\nBlack Mountain College Museum + Arts Center {120 College Street}\nTICKETS– $15 General Admission / $10 for BMCM+AC members + Students w/ID \nJoin us Monday\, December 15 at BMCM+AC for a one-night-only performance featuring world-renowned violinist Johnny Gandelsman and internationally acclaimed choreographer/dancers John Heginbotham and Melissa Toogood. \nIn this intimate\, museum-scale version of Johnny Loves Johann\, Gandelsman will perform Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1 with new choreography by Melissa Toogood and Cello Suite No. 4 with new choreography by John Heginbotham. This unique program offers a powerful glimpse into the larger evening-length work\, bringing together music and dance in fresh\, unexpected ways. With Gandelsman’s folk- and dance-inspired interpretation at its core\, Toogood and Heginbotham infuse Bach’s timeless compositions with humanity\, curiosity\, and contemporary movement—transforming them into a vibrant celebration of connection and community.\n____\nAbout the Program \nAt its heart\, Johnny Loves Johann is a tribute to community – both among the artists themselves and with the audience members who join them on this journey. By inviting these remarkable choreographers to bring their personal and cultural narratives to Bach’s music\, the project creates a tapestry of voices and perspectives that reflect the shared human experience. \nBach’s music is often put in the context of order and notions of perfection. While we can enjoy hearing it this way\, it can also limit our experience of this music as the celebration of humanity and beautiful opportunity for connection that it is. \nGandelsman’s interpretation of Bach’s Cello Suites is special in its folk music- and dance-like qualities.  Building upon that\, the Johnny Loves Johann collaborators—each known for visceral\, big-hearted art-making—re-visit the suites by leading with their humanity and curiosity.\n____\nAbout the Performers \nJohnny Gandelsman\nGRAMMY® Award-winning violinist\, producer\, and 2024 MacArthur Fellow Johnny Gandelsman blends diverse musical influences into a unique style. A founding member of Brooklyn Rider and former Silkroad Ensemble artist\, he has collaborated with luminaries including Yo-Yo Ma\, Béla Fleck\, and Mark Morris. \nMelissa Toogood\nRenowned modern dancer and teacher\, Melissa Toogood is Dean and Director of Juilliard’s Dance Division. A former Merce Cunningham dancer and longtime collaborator with Pam Tanowitz\, she is celebrated for her artistry and mentorship worldwide. \nJohn Heginbotham\nBrooklyn-based choreographer and Artistic Director of Dance Heginbotham\, John Heginbotham is known for his innovative works (2019 Broadway revival of Oklahoma!  and Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy)\, and collaborations with top musicians and opera companies. He has received numerous awards\, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Award.

DESCRIPTION:By Jessie Jones\, Nicholas Hope\, and Jamie Wooten\nPresented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing\, LLC\, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com) \nDecember 11-21\, 2025 \nThursday\, 12/11 at 7:30 (pay what you can available 11/27)\nFridays at 7:30\nSaturday at 3 pm\nSundays at 3 pm \nDirector: Abigail Dover Thomas \nApproximate Run Time: 2 hours\, 35 minutes\nRating: PG due to adult content and mild language.  \nFour days before Christmas in Tinsel\, Texas\, a colorful parade of eccentric guests arrive at the Snowflake Inn and deck the halls with holiday hilarity. Trina\, the harried yet upbeat innkeeper of this B&B\, has more than she can handle coping with these nuttier-than-a-fruitcake lodgers. Hoyt and his sister\, Donna Jo\, make the mistake of trying to end a thirty-year feud between their curmudgeonly aunts\, Ennis and Della\, with sidesplitting results. Ainsley and Lenora\, self-involved actors from a lower-than-low-budget touring production of A Christmas Carol\, descend on the Inn to fulfill a promise\, leaving comedic chaos in their wake. Add to this Yuletide mayhem an ill-advised romantic rendezvous between Mrs. Claus and one of Santa’s elves. This demanding guest refuses to leave\, not to mention a tipsy housekeeper\, and it will take more than a kiss under the mistletoe to keep Trina’s spirits merry and bright. But a spur-of-the-moment Christmas Eve wedding that brings together the fabulous Futrelle sisters—Honey Raye\, Twink\, Frankie\, and Rhonda Lynn—and their best friend\, Raynerd\, takes a surprising and delightful turn that leads to a laugh-’till-your-sides-ache climax\, changing all their lives forever.

SUMMARY:New Moon Yoga Nidra & Reiki in the Cave
DESCRIPTION:Join Reiki Master Teacher and Yoga Nidra Facilitator\, Kate Wargo in a soothing Yoga Nidra (Yogic Sleep) practice\, guiding you into the “in between”; that space between being awake and being asleep. And within this space\, a dream will be induced\, taking you into a state of consciousness that can bring about immense healing in your conscious\, subconscious\, and unconscious mind.  \nThe cave will transform into a “Nidra Nest” with comfy reclining loungers\, blankets\, and bolsters to fully support you\, whether sitting or lying down\, for the entire experience. We will gather near the New moon to invite in rebirth\, a new beginning or opportunity\, a time for transformation\, a coming into a new.  \nBegin a new ritual and join us monthly to slow down\, become present and set these intentions. During this session\, Kate will also offer Reiki to those who desire it. Reiki feels like a soothing\, glowing radiance that flows through and around you. It is a powerful attunement that treats the whole person\, encompassing body\, emotions\, mind\, and spirit\, producing numerous beneficial effects\, including relaxation and feelings of peace\, security\, and well-being. Release stuck emotions\, rest\, and rejuvenate!  \n$58 per person \nIn consideration of all our guests\, please refrain from smoking or heavy perfume use at least two hours before your session beginning. Next session:  January 16th
