We are so fortunate to present Jason Posnock as our speaker at the October 20 Guild program. We know Jason as the concertmaster of the Asheville Symphony, and it will be a pleasure to meet with him and enjoy his artistry and skill on the violin in a smaller setting.
Join us on Thursday, October 20 at 10:00 am in the symphony office at 27 College Place, Asheville, 28801. Bring your friends!
The annual potluck took place at the Governor’s Western Residence on September 9, 2022.
You’ll see from the pictures that the sky was that beautiful shade of Carolina blue which made the magnificent setting all the more perfect. We had a great gathering with many new members in attendance. The lovely flower arrangements added to the overall very festive look of the colorful tables. Many thanks to the Committee for organizing this event: Robin Harben, Nancy Gettys, Sylvia Cassel, and Sharron Davis. Thanks go to BA and Gary Schenk for your assistance, including the tent which provided extra space for the very generous food donations.
Thank you all for your attendance and for making this such a special event that welcomes the beginning of a fantastic symphony season.
The ArtsAVL Town Hall events are FREE and are a great way to get to know candidates for elected office — and they are an ESPECIALLY great way to ask those candidates tough questions about support for the arts, dedicated arts funding, a new performing arts center, etc. and then HOLD THEM TO IT once they take office.
The Arts Council has had GREAT success advocating for dedicated arts funding at the County level, and now we need to keep up the momentum with the City and State. These should be fun and informative events, and it ultimately benefits the Symphony and our entire arts community if you participate…so please consider signing up and attending on our behalf!
The first free event with State candidates is next Wednesday, September 7th at 5 pm at the Wortham Center. Please register here.

Several enjoyable, educational, and just-plain-fun events await you in fall 2022, including a brand-new addition to the Feasts lineup: Post-Symphony Talk Feasts, featuring the cuisine of each Masterworks concert composer, as well as conversation with your fellow symphony lovers — because the Friday Symphony Talk is always over too soon!
