Thursday, October 15, 2026 @ 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Join us for an enchanting evening celebrating acclaimed double bass musician Joseph Conyers and his guest appearance with the Asheville Symphony’s Masterworks performance of Anna Clyne’s This Midnight Hour, Tan Dun’s Contrabass Concerto: Wolf Totem, and Jean Sibelius’s Symphony No. 5.
As twilight deepens, step into an atmosphere of mystery and elegance. Let the evening unfold around the Swan Table, where sparkling wine and an artfully curated selection of seasonal and elevated signature bites await, thoughtfully prepared and served by one of Asheville’s favorite caterers.
The evening will feature an intimate conversation with Joseph Conyers, followed by an audience Q&A—offering a rare opportunity to hear the artist’s insights into music, inspiration, and the extraordinary voice of the double bass.
Unite with fellow patrons of the arts for an evening that celebrates the Asheville Symphony and the enduring power of music to foster generosity, connection, and wonder.
