Through music, we reflect on the impact of Hurricane Helene, one year later. This deeply meaningful program features the world premiere of Sinfonietta Helene by Asheville-based composer Jay Sanders; Iman Habibi's Jeder Baum spricht, inspired by the beauty of nature and the impact of climate change; and local composer Phillip Rhodes's Concerto for Bluegrass Band and Orchestra, a nod to the resilience of WNC. Join us as we celebrate our region's inspiring, resilient culture through the power of orchestral music.
We are proud to collaborate with UNCA as they honor WNC's resilience one year after Hurricane Helene as a part of the Post-Helene "Remembering, Rebuilding, Reimagining" Symposium.
