Asheville Symphony Guild

Looking at all we’ve done this year I think it’s fair to say it was a very successful year for the Asheville Symphony Guild.

Thanks to our Musical Feasts Committee we sponsored a variety of exciting events including a Tourists baseball game, evenings with each of the Asheville Symphony’s guest artists, a progressive dinner and others.  Look for more exciting events in 2026 starting with Name That Tune, Pickleball, another Tourists game.  You can find them and more by clicking on Musical Feasts. 

The Guild continued our support of the Symphony and Music in the Schools, had a great Pot Luck dinner at our new location at the Weaverville Community Center, and the Membership Committee increased the number of members.

From your Guild Board of Directors, we wish you all the best for a very Happy Holiday season and look forward to seeing you at our evening meetings and the Musical Feasts.

President

October, 2025

We had a really great Pot Luck dinner at our new location – the Weaverville Community Center.  A huge thank you to Barbara and Bill Hume for setting everything up.  And another thank you to Barbara for finding the new spot.  Because of Helene damage to the Governor’s Western Mansion they were unable to host us.   Barbara spent hours researching locations and with help from Treasurer William Scarborough secured the permits and deposits.  We think we’ll be using the Community Center again, not only is it air conditioned but we don’t have to worry about rain.   And thanks to Asheville Symphony Executive Director Daniel Crupi for bringing us up to date on Symphony Masterworks concerts and other events.

And, speaking of events, we have some upcoming Musical Feasts and other happenings.  First, a reminder that we will not be having our evening meeting his month due to a conflict with a Symphony event.
