A \u201cvisionary.\u201d That\u2019s how Alice Keith Pfohl Knowles, 88, describes her late father, James Christian Pfohl (1912-1997).<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a developer, a builder and an innovator,\u201d she shares from her home in Black Mountain. Of course, Pfohl also happened to be the founder of the Brevard Music Center (BMC), one of America\u2019s most acclaimed summer training programs and music festivals.<\/p>\n

According to Knowles, bringing Beethoven to the Blue Ridge was her father\u2019s fate.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe always wanted to be a conductor,\u201d she notes. \u201cWhen Father was a young child, he went to a concert by the great American bandmaster John Philip Sousa, and that\u2019s what hooked him.\u201d<\/p>\n

But even before that performance, Pfohl lived and breathed music. The son of a minister, he grew up playing in a church band alongside his five siblings in Winston-Salem. This experience earned him a scholarship to the National Music Camp at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan in 1929.<\/p>\n

When Pfohl returned home later that summer, he had his mind made up. He was going to create a similar music experience for students in the South.<\/p>\n

Four years later, when Pfohl was hired as the director of music at Davidson College, he got to work making that vision a reality. His program, then known as the Davidson College Music School Camp, hosted its first season in 1936. Seven years later, the camp relocated to Queens College in downtown Charlotte.<\/p>\n

Though a convenient location, Pfohl wanted to find a quieter setting. With this in mind, Pfohl and his wife, Louise, traveled to Brevard in the summer of 1943 to tour a 100-acre plot that once served as Camp Transylvania. When they arrived, they found neglected buildings, overgrown fields and a lone cow. It was perfect.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy wife and I knew immediately,\u201d Pfohl wrote of the property. \u201cThis is the spot.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1944, Pfohl launched the inaugural summer session of the Transylvania Music Camp (later renamed the Brevard Music Center in 1955). The camp was so well received that it attracted the attention of Time magazine.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not have a topflight professional music school in the South,\u201d Pfohl shared with the illustrious publication in 1944. \u201cWe hope the students we train will lift the South\u2019s musical life.\u201d<\/p>\n

And so they have. In the nearly 80 years since, BMC and its alumni have helped establish Brevard as the music capital of the region, attracting some 700 students to its campus every summer.<\/p>\n

From June to August, the center also hosts the Summer Festival\u2014a series of more than 80 musical performances at the Parker Concert Hall and the Whittington-Pfohl Auditorium. (Knowles points out that the latter is named after Pfohl\u2019s parents, Bessie Whittington and Bishop J. Kenneth Pfohl.) Together, these concerts bring an estimated 40,000 visitors to the area each year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis,\u201d Knowles says of BMC\u2019s great success, \u201cwas always Father\u2019s vision.\u201d<\/p>\n
