Asheville Symphony Guild

Main Content

The Asheville Symphony Guild is a volunteer organization which raises funds in support of the outstanding Asheville Symphony Orchestra. Learn more about us.

ASO@Home

While we’re all at home, have you tuned into ASO@Home? 

In one-hour segments, our symphony musicians take us behind the scenes of their work together. Do you know what it’s like to sit in a particular section of the orchestra? What does a violinist hear and see that is different from the clarinetist? Who are our younger musicians and what are their favorite pieces? Do we have any composers of our own?

The remaining ASO@Home sessions, all on Tuesdays, are as follows:

  • November 24 @ 11 a.m.: Get to Know the Winds
  • December 1 @ 7 p.m.: Melding Genres & New Music Endeavors
  • December 8 @ 7 p.m.: Percussionists on Beat
  • December 15 @ 11 a.m.: Coffee Talk with Darko 

Additionally, you can watch any previous programs by clicking this link or by visiting the Asheville Symphony Orchestra website (ashevillesymphony.org) and clicking ASO@Home in the “About Us” drop-down tab.

Updates from the Symphony Guild


A Successful Auction
Our Brunk Auction was a success! We will receive final sales totals soon and will pass them along to you when they’re ready.

Spring Estate Sale
Be thinking about our estate sale in late spring. Working with the WNC Bridge Foundation, formerly Care Partners, we will have a chance to clean out our closets, downsize furniture, make room for new artwork — all while raising funds for the Asheville Symphony. Look around this winter and plan ahead.

Music in the Schools Goes Virtual
The Guild’s virtual Music in the Schools program is nearly ready for students! Completely new and totally creative, this program will be available to all 2nd to 5th grade students in all Asheville and Buncombe County public, private, charter, and home schools. It will also be accessible through our library system and the Literacy Council. We will enjoy a preview soon! 

Musical Feasts Planned for March
Keep checking our website (ashevillesymphonyguild.org) for updates on our Musical Feasts program. We have a full roster of events planned, starting in March. Ongoing safety needs will inform us as we move forward.
