Awadagin and Appetizers: Updated to Adam & Appetizers!
Thursday, May 14, 2026 @ 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
The original soloist on this program, Awadagin Pratt, had to withdraw from this engagement due to unforeseen circumstances. In Awadagin’s stead, we are excited to announce that pianist Adam Golka will perform this piano recital and appear as soloist during Masterworks 7: Unbroken on May 16, 2026. Asheville audiences last experienced Adam in October, 2022 as part of the Symphony’s Masterworks Series.

We are excited to announce that the fabulous pianist Adam Golka will be the guest artist at the
Masterworks 7 concert. Adam will also be our guest artist for the May 14 Feast and will share
his thoughts on the upcoming performance and his experiences as a soloist.Join us in The Ramble at the lovely new home of Jill Vargo and Tony Sciara. Enjoy catered hors d’oeuvres along with a glass of wine as we toast a successful Masterworks season finale. We look forward to seeing you there. Thank you for your ongoing support of The Asheville Symphony!
