SUMMARY:An Evening With Chris Thile and Asheville Symphony
DESCRIPTION:An Evening with Chris Thile features a true array of genres.  You’ll hear Thile’s new work ATTENTION! A narrative song cycle for extroverted mandolinist and orchestra\, the third movement of Barber’s masterful Violin Concerto – which he will play on mandolin – and more.  \nMacArthur Fellow and Grammy Award-winning mandolinist\, singer\, songwriter Chris Thile\, who the Guardian calls “that rare being: an all-round musician who can settle into any style\, from bluegrass to classical\,” and NPR calls a “genre-defying musical genius\,” is a founding member of the critically acclaimed bands Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek. For four years\, Thile hosted public radio favorite Live from Here with Chris Thile (formerly known as A Prairie Home Companion). With his broad outlook\, Thile creates a distinctly American canon and a new musical aesthetic for performers and audiences alike\, giving the listener “one joyous arc\, with the linear melody and vertical harmony blurring into a single web of gossamer beauty” (New York Times).

SUMMARY:Terms of Endearment
DESCRIPTION:Adapted for the stage by Dan Gordon\nProduced by special arrangement with Playscripts\, Inc. (www.playscripts.com) \nMay 1-11\, 2025 \nThursday\, 5/1 at 7:30 (pay what you can available on 4/17)\nFridays at 7:30\nSaturdays at 3 pm\nSundays at 3 pm \nDirector: Jonathan Forrester \nApproximate Run Time: 2 hours\nRating: PG-13 due to adult language and situations. Depictions of drinking\, smoking\, drug use\, illness and death.  \nChallenges in life and love test the resilience of a mother-daughter relationship in Dan Gordon’s adaptation of Terms of Endearment\, based on the book by Pulitzer Prize-winner Larry McMurtry and James L. Brooks’s screenplay of the Oscar-winning film. Though Emma is often exasperated by her highly-opinionated mother\, Aurora\, they talk daily about their problems\, from Aurora finding unexpected love even as she becomes a reluctant grandmother to Emma’s struggle in her troubled marriage. But when they need one another most\, will they be able to find courage in each other? This funny and touching story captures the delicate\, sometimes fractured bonds between mothers and daughters\, husbands and wives\, and lovers\, both old and new. \nThe cast of Terms of Endearment: \nTate Albert – Garrett Breedlove \nMark Hodgdon* – Rudyard/Dr. Maise \nVictoria Lamberth – Aurora Greenway \nLauren Otis – Emma Greenway \nJered Shults – Flap Horton \nMary Weisberger – Patsy/Doris/Nurse \n*Making their Hendersonville Theatre debut

SUMMARY:Ursula Gullow: Nightbloom
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hours are Wed – Sat 11am-5pm \nTracey Morgan Gallery is pleased to present “Nightbloom\,” our first solo exhibition of painter and mixed media artist Ursula Gullow. Join us for an Artist Reception on Friday\, May 16 from 6-8PM. \nMoving between classical painting techniques and craft materials\, Gullow’s artwork embraces the decorative arts while reframing the female presence in Western art and rescuing historical imagery from its patriarchal forebears. Her richly painted tableaus and lustrous ceramic objects recontextualize sentimental narratives\, innuendos\, and adornments prevalent in European art history. Flowers\, foliage\, ribbons\, petticoats\, silk stockings\, and ornamental filigree fill her oil paintings of landscapes and interior spaces.

These are non-credit bearing experiences\, ranging in length from one to three weeks\, that bring learners to our campus in Asheville\, NC or send them on global explorations with Warren Wilson faculty. These courses highlight the unique magic of Warren Wilson College\, which has been a hub of experiential learning since its founding as the Asheville Farm School in 1894. \nAdults of all ages are encouraged to apply (18+). The majority of courses will take place on Warren Wilson’s campus\, and others will be Worldwide Courses that depart from Asheville but travel to various corners of the globe. \nOne-Legged Stool Weekend\nWe will explore the definition of a chair and balance.

Anyone who has gone through it knows that there is more to having a will than just showing up in the lawyer’s office or going online and filling out a form. In this program\, we’ll walk through the decisions that you need to make and collect the information necessary for getting it all done.\nWeekend Course\nLevel: All\nCourse Cost: $260 ( + $85 materials fee)
