SUMMARY:Blue Ridge Orchestra's "Finding Home"\, Saturday Performance
DESCRIPTION:The Blue Ridge Orchestra introduces its 25th Anniversary Season with two performances of “Finding Home.” This series debuts new Music Director\, Dr. Emily Mariko Eng.  \nThe Blue Ridge Orchestra had originally planned to perform “Finding Home” for the season opening in October. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene\, we have rescheduled our “Finding Home” performances to December\, in recognition of the heroic and tireless efforts of our region\, our state\, and our country\, to rally around rebuilding and restoring our beloved home of Asheville and Western North Carolina.  \nPlease join the Blue Ridge Orchestra for this tribute\, in two 3:00 pm concerts: on Saturday\, December 7th in Charles Beall Auditorium of Haywood Community College; and on Sunday\, December 8th in Lipinsky Auditorium\, UNC Asheville. Finding Home elicits the many emotions that accompany life’s journey and explorations. Experiencing the magic of both urban and rural environments\, far away destinations\, and the familiarity of home\, this concert will include Quinn Mason’s Inner City Rhapsody\, Copland’s Letter from Home\, Gershwin’s American in Paris\, and Carlos Simon’s The Block! We are proud to feature renowned baritone Isaiah Feken on Mahler’s Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen and of course we will include holiday favorites…In the wake of Hurricane Helene\, this program is all the more poignant\, bringing our community together with its inspiring music.  \nThis is a pivotal year for the Blue Ridge Orchestra. Dr. Emily Mariko Eng is excited to begin her tenure as Music Director of the Blue Ridge Orchestra\, after guest conducting Schumann’s Symphony No. 1 in last season’s Spring Fourth concert. Originally from New Hampshire\, Emily serves on the music faculty at UNC Asheville\, where she is Director of Wind Bands. Prior to her role at UNC Asheville\, Emily earned a DMA in Conducting from the University of Georgia\, an MM in Conducting from New England Conservatory\, and a BS in Biochemistry and Music Composition from Brandeis University. \n “This concert program explores many meanings of home: finding community\, discovering a sense of self\, pioneering one’s artistic voice\, feeling at peace even in a faraway land. Following the devastation from Hurricane Helene\, we are looking forward to coming together as an orchestra and providing comfort through music.” \nThe Blue Ridge Orchestra has been making quality\, symphonic music accessible to audiences across WNC since 1999. Comprised of over fifty talented local musicians who volunteer their time to practice\, rehearse\, and perform\, the BRO has showcased its talents in Asheville\, Canton\, Swannanoa\, Black Mountain\, and Clyde.  \nFinding Home is generously sponsored by Mosaic Community Lifestyle Realty. \nDetails: Blue Ridge Orchestra’s Finding Home\nSaturday\, December 7th\, 2024\, 3:00 pm\nHaywood Community College\nCharles Beall Auditorium\n185 Freedlander Drive\nClyde\, NC. 28721 \nTickets:\nGeneral Admission: $25\nStudents (ages 5+): $15 \nSunday\, December  8th\, 2024\, 3:00 pm\nUNC Asheville\nLipinsky Auditorium\n300 Library Lane\nAsheville\, NC. 28804 \nTickets:\nGeneral Admission: $20\nFriends of the Orchestra: $15\nStudents: $5\nChildren 6 and under: Free \nInfo: https://blueridgeorchestra.org/finding-home-dec-24\,  Facebook\, Instagram\, or call 828-782-3354.
