On Sunday, February 4, the Friends of Music at St. John in the Wilderness in Flat Rock will present a concert of music from Mozart to My Fair Lady. The concert celebrates the completion of the church’s new Parish Hall and the donation of a Yamaha Grand Piano. It will be held in the new Parish Hall beginning at 3:30 p.m.
The program will include Mozart’s Piano Concerto in A major, K. 414, played by St. John Organist and Director of Music, Dewitt Tipton, along with members of the Hendersonville Symphony Orchestra. Greenville professional singers Danielle Knox, soprano, Grant Knox, tenor, and Adrian Smith, bass-baritone, will sing opera arias and the final trio from Gounod’s Faust. They also will sing excerpts from My Fair Lady joined by the St. John Parish Choir.
Admission is free; however, donations will be gratefully accepted. For more information, call (828) 693-9783 or visit www.stjohnflatrock.org.
Pianoforte with Deborah Belcher and Members of the Asheville Wind Quartet
For the event, Belcher will perform solo works by Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Liszt, and will be joined by members of the Asheville Wind Quintet for chamber music by Robert Schumann and Beethoven. This varied program spans the emotional scale from lyricism through drama to rollicking virtuosity.
A chamber music theatre work for actor and trio (cello, piano & percussion) celebrating the lives of the great African-American poets, Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen and Claude McKay as seen through the eyes of the great muralist and painter Aaron Douglas. Text is by Akin Babatunde.The musical score includes works by jazz giants Duke Ellington, Jelly Roll Morton, Billy Strayhorn, Thelonius Monk and Charles Mingus as well as concert music by Jeffrey Mumford and George Walker.
The Black Mountain College Summer Institutes in art and music began in 1944. The Second Music Institute in 1945 was devoted to the study of polyphony and ensemble playing. According to the college’s own press release, “The Gordon String Quartet performed the Quartets No. 4 and No. 7 of Hugo Kauder, who was invited to the Music Institute as resident composer, and as a representative of a contemporary polyphonic style. Among the works of Hugo Kauder performed during the Music Institute were a sonata for violin and piano, songs, choruses, a horn sonata, and a trio for oboe, horn, and piano.” Other participants and performers included Erwin Bodky (harpsichord/piano), Emanuel Zeitlin (violin), Josef Marx (oboe), Eva Heinitz (viola da gamba/cello), Gertrude Straus (violin), and Willem Valkenier (horn). Many of Kauder’s works for horn were inspired by and dedicated to Valkenier. They had been close friends since meeting and working together in Vienna before 1920.
The Tesla Quartet’s goal is to reconnect and establish Kauder’s legacy as part of the ongoing rediscovery of the artists and work associated with the legendary Black Mountain College.

2ND ANNUAL MAC-N-CHEESE OFF
Thanks to the creativity and hard work of our staff we created the tastiest 2017 event in the upstate. And we’re bringing it back for another year. Last year was super tasty and also a little bit chaotic (what can we say, free mac-n-cheese causes a riot). We’ve expanded to 15k sq. ft. which means twice as much space for big crowds. We’ve also got a year under our belt now with experience from several big events, which means we’re getting better at shorter lines and happier customers. So make some room in those stretchy pants and save the date for the 2nd Annual Mac-n-Cheese Off!
THE CHEESY DETAILS
All foodies are encouraged to compete. There will be multiple categories in the contest, including people’s choice and judge’s choice. Prizes will be awarded to the winners in each category (just think of those bragging rights in the craft beer community!). The public is invited and encouraged to come sample and help judge the entries. There is a $2 suggested donation, with all proceeds going to support community non-profits.
Registration is free, and must be completed by Saturday, Feb. 17th. Registration is only necessary for those planning to *cook* a dish to be judged. Those interested in tasting don’t need to sign up!
