Support Music in the Schools in a new way
Dear Asheville Symphony Guild Members,
We have some exciting news to announce! Guild members now have a unique opportunity to support our acclaimed Music in the Schools program. With your help, this program will expand to reach more than 7,000 students and provide classical music experiences to 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th graders in all Asheville City and Buncombe County public, private, charter and home schools through a virtual curriculum.
Our Brunk Auction fundraiser is off and running! The professionals at Brunk have chosen the items donated by Guild members to be included in the auction catalog and offered for sale in an online auction on October 2 and 3, 2020. Stay tuned for how you can participate as we get closer to the date.
Many, many thanks to all who offered items for auction! Not all were accepted, but we stand to realize an excellent return from this fundraiser. The proceeds will directly benefit the Music in the Schools programs ad the musicians involved.
Note: This new fundraising effort is in addition to an “Estate Sale” to be announced for Spring 2021 in conjunction with the Bridge Foundation (formerly CarePartners).
Plan Ahead
It’s always time to celebrate the rich culture of our traditional and beautiful Appalachian music.
Laura Boosinger and Josh Goforth are performing on Thursday, February 20, 2020, at 7:00 PM at the Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, 789 Merrimon Avenue in North Asheville.
Laura has won glowing reviews wherever she appears and is blessed with an ‘essence of the mountains spirit.’ Laura will be in the company of Josh Goforth, an outstanding musician, acclaimed fiddler, guitar picker and mandolin player. He is one of Madison County’s best at bringing the old time music traditions to today’s audiences. Together they are two names that fans of Appalachian music already know and love.
Open to all, free-will donations will be gladly accepted.
Brought to you by the Asheville Symphony Guild, this program complements Aaron Copland’s famous Appalachian Spring, to be performed by the Asheville Symphony Orchestra on February 22.
