"Making Music Happen!"
The
Asheville Symphony Guild is a volunteer organization supporting the
growth of the Asheville Symphony and encouraging interest in music and
cultural activities in the greater Asheville community. Becoming a
member is easy, affordable, and offers opportunities to experience many
enjoyable events and rewarding activities. Since its founding in 1965,
the Asheville Symphony Guild has evolved into a major financial
supporter of the Asheville Symphony and promoter of musical education
programs in the community.
Education
- The Music in the Schools program brings live performances of classical music into Buncombe County and Asheville City schools to introduce students to musical instruments and help them understand and enjoy symphonic music.
- The monthly programs of the Guild feature a
wide variety of musicians who give a short performance and presentation
about their instruments. Programs for this year range from a conducting lesson from Music Director Daniel Meyer to a luthier describing string instrument making. Each program is
preceded by a social time.
The programs are usually held on the third Thursday of the month and
begin at 10 o'clock in the morning. The public is
invited.
- The “Symphony Talk with Daniel “ series is held at the Reuter Center on the campus of UNCA at 3 o'clock on Friday afternoons preceding the Saturday concerts.. The event is free and all persons interested in the Symphony programs are welcome.
- The Summer Music Camp Scholarship is offered for middle and high school instrumental music students to attend the Western North Carolina Summer Music Camp. More information is available HERE.
