Members of the BMC 2020 Janiec Opera Company join together to perform an at-home version of the “Humming Chorus” from Puccini’s opera Madama Butterfly. This wistful, wordless melody is sung by an off-stage chorus at the end of Act II, as Butterfly waits for her husband’s ship to dock.
Keith Lockhart discusses his deep connection with the music of Mahler and collaborating with his dear friend Ilana Davidson.
An evening of Gypsy Jazz: The Hot Club of Asheville – a gypsy jazz collective- is returning to the Isis Lawn concert series with a different line up and fresh repertoire. The evening will feature the music of Django Reinhardt along with a focus on more modern compositions in the Gypsy Jazz genre. The core band will feature Steve Karla and Phil Alley on guitars with Connor Law on bass and special guests. Come enjoy an evening of live music, food and drinks at the Isis patio and lawn
Here’s the scoop for Saturday’s Concert!!
Things are going to be a little different due to the “new norm” / COVID19 regulations. So we ask that y’all just bear with us!!
Unlike our previous lawn shows there will not be open free lawn seating (ie blankets, bring your own chairs, etc) – We have to follow strict distancing rules right now – When things get back to normal, we promise we’ll also get back to our usual lawn series vibe.
There will be tables throughout the patio and lawn – these tables will be specifically spaced to meet distancing regulations.
These tables will be the ONLY seating.
The tables are available for DINING only – unfortunately with the limited seating we can not offer tables to those that are only enjoying a beverage.
Seating is limited so we recommend calling and making dinner
We will be adding a musicians’ fee per person in order to help support the musicians and sound engineer..
Our same delicious food will be back on the menu in a more limited selection until we can get things up and running steadily again.
We hope that you understand and support these changes as we all are working through how to navigate these times!! We’re so excited to back open for live music and to see some familiar faces!!
Please give a call with any other questions or to reserve a table!! 828-575-2737
Cheers
The Isis Crew

Based out of Brooklyn, NY, singer/songwriter Brian Dunne’s music has won the attention and praise of many with his sharp lyrical prowess and country-tinged vocals.
On February 17th, 2015, Brian released his full length debut “Songs From The Hive,” which garnered praise from CMT, Songwriting Magazine, and countless others. He released his sophomore record on May 12, 2017 entitled “Bug Fixes & Performance Improvements” which debuted at #10 on the iTunes Songwriter charts and earned him performances on NPR’s Mountain Stage and 2017’s Cayamo Cruise. He has shared the stage with many songwriting legends and newcomers, such as Robert Earl Keen, Delbert McClinton, Justin Townes Earle, Lee Ann Womack, and many others.
Brian has performed twice at Isis Music Hall – we welcome him for this “Virtual” concert.
