Sponsored by Mosaic Community Lifestyle Realty, this year’s BRO Revels! is an event not to be missed! Featuring the BRO’s Chamber Strings along with some of Asheville’s most talented musicians and performers, and headlined by internationally renowned traditional music duo Newberry & Verch, the Revels! is a one-of-a-kind holiday celebration. The music is an eclectic mix including traditional carols and folk tunes, Vivaldi’s “Winter” featuring Franklin Keel, Kenny Loggins tunes, fiddle and banjo, and a special performance of “Christmas Eve Sarajevo” featuring Franklin Keel on electric cello!
With Franklin Keel, Rebecca O’Quinn, Megan McConnell, Alex Watson, and Ryan Kijanka, in addition to the BRO Chamber Strings.
About Newberry & Verch:
Joe Newberry grew up in a family full of singers and dancers. He took up the guitar and banjo as a teenager and learned fiddle tunes from great Missouri fiddlers. April Verch grew up listening to her Dad’s country band play for dances in the Ottawa Valley. She started step dancing at age three and fiddling at age six. Both Newberry & Verch became masters of their traditions and tour the world with their respective bands and projects. Yet they never forget the roots of their music, that connection to the people in the audience, on the dance floor, to the community sparked by a good song.
For these veteran performers who come from distinct traditions and parts of the world, their collaboration is fueled by their kindred passion for bringing people together to celebrate traditional music. Blues and ballads stem into Canadian regional styles and originals. Their voices blend in harmony, their tasteful instrumentals prove that these masters have nothing left to prove, and then their feet kick up the dust in perfect rhythm…and together, they make you remember why this music existed in the first place.
The program will be performed twice on December 9, 2018, in the intimate Folk Art Center. Tickets are limited! General admission is $25 for this special event. Friends will limited to ONE FriendPass ticket per household/group, but will be able to purchase additional tickets for only $15 each. Student tickets are also $15.

The Pranayama, Mantras, and Meditation workshop is one of 3 special events at Pure Yoga Asheville to welcome in Winter Solstice. Even modern science says it’s true – Meditation is good for you! Nevertheless, for many modern yogis the idea of meditation and sanskrit words like “pranayama” and “mantra” conjure notions of ancient yogis in mountain caves or monks in robes, or may seem appealing but ultimately elusive and reserved for yoga teachers and the “super-spiritual”. This event will illuminate these concepts and offer powerful tools that any willing human can use to facilitate (and feel the benefits of!) a meditative mindset – whether in a cave or in a corner of the living room; in monk robes, yoga pants or pajamas.
In this workshop led by Leaflin, we will:
~ discover the meanings of the words “pranayama” & “mantra”, what these techniques are and how they can assist in meditation
~ explore what meditation is and why it is an essential practice
~ learn simple and potent practices that can be used daily to establish a baseline of calm and a foundation for reaching exalted states
Cost is $18, 10% PYIC Discount. Register for your spot at www.pureyogaavl.com/events. Photo cred: Rose Kaz

Join us for a community workday at Carver Edible Park!
Let’s help keep the park a bountiful and beautiful space by clearing brush, mulching paths, and removing invasives. If we’re lucky, maybe we can scrounge an American persimmon or two as well ?
If you’re using a GPS, you can navigate to the park by plugging in “Stephens-Lee Recreation Center.” There is a parking lot with ample space, and the path down to the garden is across from the rec center.
Hot drinks and warm things to snack on provided! Just come ready to get a little dirty ? There will also be tools provided (shovels, loppers, wheelbarrows, work gloves, etc.) but if you have any of the items and an easy way to transport them, we’d encourage you to consider bringing them. Having too many isn’t a problem. If you have other ideas of projects you’d like to pull off during this workday (planting starts, updating the map, making more labels/signs) post a comment and let’s discuss it!
If anyone needs to get in contact, you can text or call Jillian Wolf: 3608195673.

This fresh adaptation of the film is set in the fictional studio of WVL Radio Theatre, which is struggling to stay on the air one snowy winter’s night. The professional voice actors are unable to get to the studio, but the show must go on—and so a small but intrepid band of employees manages to create the story’s dozens of characters and scenes using just their voices and some everyday household items for sound effects.

Mount St. Helen’s nuns are putting on a Christmas show which is an original ballet based on “The Nutcracker“. The show is filled with the traditional “nunsense humor” and one-liners that have made the Nunsense shows so popular.
The Asheville JCC Israeli Film Series continues in December with:
THE MUSEUM – film and discussion
Sunday, December 9 at 2pm
About the film:
The Museum is a film that observes, examines and ponders Israel’s most important cultural institution, the Israel Museum. The film follows the visitors, observes the observers, listens to the speakers and descends to the storerooms, labs and conference rooms. The American museum director, the singing security guard, the Jerusalemite curator, the Haredi kashrut inspector, the Palestinian guide and the visitor who lost her vision are some of the characters that take part in a chain of activities which add up to the museum. For about 18 months director Ran Tal collected footage of the daily routine of the museum that seeks to both reflect and mold the Israeli legacy and culture.
74 min.
English, Hebrew with English Subtitles
Tickets available online or at the box office.
About the Series:
This series is designed to allow us to use film as our window into the minds and culture of Israel. The 2nd Sunday of each month, a new Israeli film will be presented with a discussion to follow each film. The films have been selected to provide varying degrees and angles of perspective and insight. We invite you to come explore with us.

In this beautiful play, Libby, a socially awkward woman with a tragic past, reluctantly throws a dinner party for a group of neighbors and acquaintances. As the drinks flow, discussions and debates ensue about everything from skydiving to family therapy to the merits of Topo Gigio. Connections are made and broken and made again as Libby and her guests explore what being alone, and being not alone, really means.
Directed by Jeff Catanese
Starring Edwin Glass, Scott Keel, Amanda Klinikowski, Christy Montesdeoca, Trinity Smith-Keel, Josephine Thomas and Henry Williamson III

A spectacular professional production of the full original Nutcracker ballet from Imperial Russia interpreted and performed by Asheville’s own Ballet Company, directed by Ann Dunn.
December 7-8 at 7:30pm and December 8-9 at 2:30pm at Diana Wortham Theatre. Box office 828.257.4530 or online: https://bit.ly/2qcHwzJ. Tickets from $15-50.
Please visit www.ashevilleballet.com for more information.
The The Asheville Ballet’s Nutcracker has been a holiday tradition in Asheville for almost half a century. Children and adults will be charmed yet again by ballet’s greatest classic. This all-time favorite story of Clara’s magical midnight trip to the Land of Sweets is classical ballet at its best. Snow will fall in the Snow Queen’s kingdom, scary rats will frighten and good soldiers will rescue Clara, the exquisite Sugar Plum Fairy and her handsome Cavalier will dance their eternally lovely pas de deux, and beautiful flowers will waltz, and waltz, and waltz.
There is an historical line behind our production, from Petipa and Vaganova in 19th century Russia, to their pupil and dancer George Balanchine in 20th century New York, to his pupil Ann Dunn in 21st century Asheville.
This year’s production features exciting new choreography for Angels, Rats, Russian, and Chinese. A new Firebird Doll will entertain Clara. The artistic team that has built on original choreography by Marius Petipa, Ann Dunn, and Lyle Laney includes Fleming Lomax, Allison Hertzberg, Tricia Renshaw, and Rebecca Nohria.
We are most thrilled to welcome back Jaime Thompson as the Sugar Plum Fairy, and Daniel Johnson as her Cavalier.
“Asheville is so fortunate to have a resident ballet company of this caliber,” says Ann Dunn, Artistic Director. “The community has, essentially, a year-long resident repertoire company. Seasoned ballet fans and novices alike have the opportunity to watch consummate professionals perform a wide variety of roles, from classical to contemporary.”
A perfect opportunity for young people to encounter professional classical dance and a wonderful, traditional story, in a real theatrical experience.
Asheville Ballet has built a reputation on the belief that dance plays a vital role in the education and culture of the community. As a key component of its Educational Outreach Program, The Asheville Ballet will perform its entire production of the holiday classic The Nutcracker for school children on Thursday, December 6 at 9:00am. Seating at Diana Wortham Theatre is limited and is confirmed on a first come first served basis. Thanks to generous patronage, we are able to offer children’s tickets at $5 again this year. This popular opportunity fills up quickly. For reservations write Ann Dunn, Director at [email protected].
Asheville Ballet is North Carolina’s oldest non-profit ballet company. First incorporated in 1963, the company has created and presented work in Asheville every year since. In an average season, formal and educational outreach programming affects a culturally diverse audience of approximately 23,000 people. An active advisory panel and a strong, well-organized volunteer base assist a committed board.
Asheville Ballet has produced residencies by historical choreographers (Anna Sokolow, Douglas Dunn, Lori Bellilove), hosted master classes and workshops by international dance stars (Sean Curran, Mark Dendy, Chuck Davis, David Dorfman), produced the three-week Fall Into Dance festival, and commissioned both classical and contemporary choreography.
Asheville Ballet productions reflect the region’s varied interests. In addition to an ongoing relationship with The Biltmore Estate, work has been produced for fund-raisers (The Health Adventure, The Arts Council), civic events (Martin Luther King Day, Bele Chere Festival), and commercial events (The Dirty Dancing Festival, opening for the Pointer Sisters).
Since its inception, Asheville Ballet has produced both cutting edge interdisciplinary work and full-length major work. The company has collaborated with other local art agencies (the Asheville Symphony, Asheville Bravo Concerts, Asheville Community Theater, Asheville Lyric Opera), and has worked live with the area’s major musical, poetic, and visual artists.
In addition to promoting new work and a professional ballet company for our region, Asheville Ballet offers an annual lecture series on dance appreciation, in co-ordination with other local dance presenters, and generates educational articles on dance history and appreciation for national and local publications. The company has built a full library of dance-related materials.
Asheville Ballet’s commitment to supporting its professional adult members is evidenced by its challenging and stimulating performances, choreography, and teaching opportunities. The company also continues to nurture the careers of advanced youth members. Dancers who have worked with the ballet have performed with Alvin Ailey, Kirov Ballet, Pennsylvania Ballet, Fort Worth Ballet, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Colorado Ballet, Hartford Ballet, Boston Ballet, Geneva Ballet, National Ballet of Cuba, and the Radio City Music Hall Rockettes. Company dancers have appeared in Broadway musicals, Hollywood films, and have won titles all the way up to Miss and Mrs. America. They have also been accepted at the schools of the New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theater, Juilliard, Boston Ballet, Jose Limon, Paul Taylor, Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham, Robert Joffrey, and The Dance Conservatory at Purchase.
Asheville Ballet has created and found funding for scholarships for advanced dancers to pursue professional work in New York and Europe, and for underprivileged children to study dance in Asheville. The company has worked with Project Steam, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Helpmate, Elida Home, Presbyterian Home for Children, and local churches to locate and encourage new dancers and dance-appreciators. The Tix for Tots program makes hundreds of tickets available to introduce young people to the wonders of dance.

Hi, James Navé here. During every holiday season, for as long as I can remember, I’ve performed A Child’s Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas as a gift to the community. This year I’d like to invite you to me for this year’s performance at The Black Mountain Center for the Arts at 3 pm on December 9. Admission is free.
I’ll open the gathering by reciting A Child’s Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas. Following that, we’ll have a thirty-minute salon conversation about the pleasures of remembering and the joys of telling stories.
Hope to see you there. Happy Holidays.

Christmas fundraiser for the Tryon Summer Youth Theater
As a Director, Chris Tinkler knows how important the Tryon Summer Youth Theater is for kids—and families of those kids. It’s a character-building experience for the youngsters, bonding with their co-actors, taking responsibility not only for themselves, but for the final dazzling production. What a joy to witness all the hard work and incredible talent of our local youth come to fruition.
For the last three years an anonymous donor from the Polk County Community Foundation has made it possible for the Friday night show tickets to be just $5 each. This made a huge difference for the families of the performers. Now all the children in the family could attend; Grandma and Grandpa, and aunts and uncles and cousins and friends and neighbors—all could afford to experience live theater and applaud these amazing, hardworking kids.
Tinkler’s goal is to make all seats—for all performances—just $5. And to help with that goal, he’s staging a one-man show at the TLT Workshop: Truman Capote’s “A Christmas Memory”. The story takes place in the 1930s and describes a period in the lives of the seven-year-old narrator and an elderly woman who is his distant cousin and best friend. The narrative focuses on friendship and the joy of giving during the Christmas season.
The show runs for three performances, December 7 & 8 at 7:30pm, and December 9 at 3:00pm. Come early for some light hors d’oeuvres and holiday cheer and show your support for our area youth! Tickets are $25 and can be ordered online at www.tltinfo.org.The Workshop box office (516 S. Trade St. in Tryon), is also open between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm, December 3 through December 8, or you can call 828-0859-2466 for more information.

Join us for an afternoon and leave renewed. This experience is a gift from Navé and we are accepting donations at the door. General seating.

Jack of the Wood : Sunday-Irish Session
Sundays
1 till who knows when?
Traditional Irish music is kept alive at Jack of the Wood with our unplugged Sunday session.
Jack of the Wood
95 Patton ave
Asheville, NC 28801
(828) 252.5445
December 30 (Sunday) at 3pm, doors at 2:15.
Suggested donation $25.
Joining Paula and Peggy on this ‘acoustic’ version of their show will be James Vandenburg on guitar and backing vocals and Zack Page on bass.
Refreshments will be served (with beer and wine) for donations to a local charity.
The sound of the voice of Linda Ronstadt has been a familiar one for generations. For local musicians and vocalists Paula Hanke and Peggy Ratusz, who grew up idolizing her music, it was a clarion call to put together a show featuring some of her best works, when news broke in 2013 that Ronstadt was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
In their sensational act, Paula Hanke and Peggy Ratusz belt out hit after hit from Ms. Ronstadt’s eclectic 28-studio-album catalog while adding personal stories and historic accounts of her impressive achievements. With a setlist as varied as the multiple genres spanned by this quintessential song interpreter, LOVE IS A ROSE takes audiences on an exciting journey through the worlds of rock, pop, country rock, Latin, folk and jazz standards. And of course, no Linda Ronstadt tribute would be complete without selections from her collection of Mexican folk songs. Canciones de Mi Padre, released in 1987 is still the biggest selling non-English-language album in American history.
This warm and charismatic North Carolina-based duo comes together to honor and celebrate Linda Ronstadt following diverse solo careers: Hanke as a performer on TV’s Star Search and casino showroom-headliner, and Ratusz as a two-time semifinalist in the International Blues Challenge and opening act for The Tedeschi Trucks Band. They join forces with their four-piece band to sing incredible hits like “When Will I Be Loved,” “Blue Bayou,” “That’ll Be The Day,” “It’s So Easy,” “Poor Poor Pitiful Me,” “Tumbling Dice,” “Lo Siento Mi Vida,” “Desperado,” “You’re No Good,” “What’s New,” “Different Drum,” and more.

Screen viewing of “Dance All Night – The Highwoods Stringband Story”. This iconic old-time band left it’s mark in our music culture, reviving old-time stringband music to much of the country in the late 60’s through the 70’s. They had many ties to the Asheville scene, not the least of which was their performing with the Green Grass Cloggers at many of the national festivals held around the US.
Movie screening via blue-ray provided courtesy of the film maker – Larry Edelman. Come join us for free, but we’ll also take up donations to send back to the producers of this excellent piece of history. They spent countless hours and cold, hard cash to make it available, so help if you can.
An old-time jam will break out afterwards!
