SUMMARY:Bindings Art Exhibit with Randy Siegel at North Asheville Library
DESCRIPTION:Scraps of fabric\, rope\, string\, wire\, and thread\, along with obsessive stitching and often beading\, obscure and obstruct hidden aspects of self often too painful to acknowledge and to beautiful to ignore. With each wrap\, knot\, and stitch\, the creative process has been a mediation and ritual—a holy sacrament of confession\, absolution\, and integration as shadow aspects of self are brought to light\, acceptance\, and love.

SUMMARY:Becomyth - We Begin In Chaos - Night 3: Book of Evocation
DESCRIPTION:Night 3 | The Book of Evocation \nThe final installment enters the dreamworld of a young child on the edge of understanding. Through the lens of two reimagined Chinese creation myths\, The Book of Evocation explores the vulnerability\, wonder\, and failure that often accompany the creative act. As worlds flicker into form and fall apart again\, the performance evokes the deep inner work of becoming—and the courage it takes to begin\, again \nABOUT THE SERIES \nBecomyth: We Begin in Chaos is a performance art project created by Adam J. N. Keene and Langston Kelly that delves into the nature of beginnings—why they challenge us\, why they matter\, and what transformation takes place in the act of starting anew. Drawing from global creation myths—some of the oldest maps we have for navigating the unknown—Becomyth investigates “chaotic beginnings” as a form of mythological sensemaking: a tool for navigating uncertainty\, transformation\, and potential. \nBlending music\, myth\, and theatrical storytelling\, Keene and Kelly invite audiences on a cosmic journey where ancient stories are reborn and new myths take root. Each evening in the three-part series presents original performances inspired by global creation stories—fusing dreamlike worlds with powerful archetypes to ask: What does it mean to begin? And who do we become in the process?

SUMMARY:CMS of the Carolinas presents: Bohemian Rhapsody
DESCRIPTION:Program:\nFranz Krommer: Quartet No. 2 in F major for oboe & strings (1780-90)\nGeorg Druschetzky: Quartet in G minor for oboe & strings\nFolk Song Suite\, arr. Nathan Mondry\nSelections by Katerina Victoria Dusikova-Cianchettini for String Trio\nWolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Quartet for oboe and strings in F major\, K.370 (1781)\nDon’t miss the CMS Carolinas début of the nationally acclaimed period instrument ensemble Les Délices\, performing an innovative and thoughtful program celebrating Bohemian composers from the late 18th and early 19th centuries.\nBohemian Rhapsody celebrates the music of Bohemian composers from the late 18th and early 19th centuries – a time when the Czech lands were provinces of the Habsburg Empire. Rarely-heard chamber music by Czech and Moravian composers Franz Krommer\, Georg Druschetzky\, and Katerina Victoria Dusikova-Cianchettin will illuminate a little-known history that explores underlying themes of separation\, nostalgia\, and homecoming. Also featured is a recently commissioned arrangement of Czech and Moravian folk songs by New York City-based composer and harpsichordist Nathan Mondry that asks\, what might it have sounded like if these late-18th and early-19th century composers from the Czech lands had been able to more openly celebrate their heritage in their music? These fun and fascinating works for oboe\, violin\, viola\, and cello are paired with Mozart’s sublime oboe quartet\, KV370.
