The Blue Ridge Orchestra (BRO) presents its annual BRO Revels!<\/em> on Saturday, December 9, at UNC Asheville\u2019s Lipinsky Auditorium, and Sunday, December 10, at the Folk Art Center. Both concerts begin at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusic director Milton Crotts varies the programming from year to year, always offering a new twist on traditional music,\u201d says BRO president Ruth Hall. \u201cThe BRO Revels!<\/em> are a wonderful way to get in the holiday spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s program features a mix of classical, pops and rock music, including the dances from Tchaikovsky\u2019s Nutcracker<\/em> and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra\u2019s arrangement of Carol of the Bells, Christmas Eve\/ Sarajevo 12\/24<\/em>. Sixteen-year-old Zaria Joyner will perform an electric guitar solo during the rock portion of the latter. Additionally, Leroy Anderson\u2019s Bugler\u2019s Holiday, performed by the BRO\u2019s sterling trombonists, will return by popular demand and two other Anderson favorites, Sleigh Ride<\/em> and A Christmas Festival<\/em>, will complete the evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cA broad cross-section of Ashevillians attend our concerts, \u201c says BRO orchestra manager Melon Wedick. \u201cIt\u2019s part of our mission to keep them affordable and accessible, so that anyone in the community can enjoy the experience of seeing a full-sized symphony perform live and, in the Folk Art Center, up close and personal. Our audiences typically mingle with the orchestra after concerts and the opportunity to chat with the conductor and musicians appeals to many concertgoers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Blue Ridge Orchestra is an all-volunteer ensemble dedicated to engaging WNC\u2019s musical community in opportunities to perform, listen to, and learn about great symphonic music.<\/p>\n

Lipinsky Auditorium is at 107 Lipinsky Hall, One University Heights, Asheville. The Folk Art Center is at Mile Post 382, Blue Ridge Parkway, Asheville. Tickets for BRO Revels! are $15 general admission, $10 for Friends of the Orchestra and $5 for students.
