Jason Isbell record always lands like a decoder ring in the ears and hearts of his audience, a soundtrack to his world and magically to theirs, too. Weathervanes carries the same revelatory power. This is a storyteller at the peak of his craft, observing his fellow wanderers, looking inside and trying to understand, reducing a universe to four minutes. He shrinks life small enough to name the fear and then strip it away, helping his listeners make sense of how two plus two stops equaling four once you reach a certain age — and carry a certain amount of scars.

Don’t miss the CMS Carolinas début of the nationally acclaimed period instrument ensemble Les Délices, performing an innovative and thoughtful program celebrating Bohemian composers from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Bohemian Rhapsody celebrates the music of Bohemian composers from the late 18th and early 19th centuries – a time when the Czech lands were provinces of the Habsburg Empire. Rarely-heard chamber music by Czech and Moravian composers Franz Krommer, Georg Druschetzky, and Katerina Victoria Dusikova-Cianchettin will illuminate a little-known history that explores underlying themes of separation, nostalgia, and homecoming. Also featured is a recently commissioned arrangement of Czech and Moravian folk songs by New York City-based composer and harpsichordist Nathan Mondry that asks, what might it have sounded like if these late-18th and early-19th century composers from the Czech lands had been able to more openly celebrate their heritage in their music? These fun and fascinating works for oboe, violin, viola, and cello are paired with Mozart’s sublime oboe quartet, KV370.

FEATURING COUCH, MEMBERS OF THE STEEP CANYON RANGERS & AUNT VICKI – To Benefit Longterm Regional Resiliency

In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Footprint Project, Land of Sky Regional Council of Governments and many other local partners stepped in to deploy solar and battery storage microgrid systems with a focus on restoring power, telecommunications, and clean drinking water to communities across Western North Carolina. In the months since this storm devastated the region, these partners continue to deploy clean energy solutions with more than 60 operational battery and solar projects on the ground serving North Carolinians. As part of plans for long-term regional resiliency, these partner organizations are working with local, state, and federal entities to deploy more clean energy solutions to serve the community in these next phases of recovery and to prepare for future storms. Join us for an evening of music at Sierra Nevada’s Mill River taproom to enjoy local artists and support regional recovery through clean energy solutions. Proceeds from this event to benefit Footprint Project and Land of Sky Regional Council of Governments and their efforts to serve Western North Carolina.

The event will also feature short remarks from local leaders and recovery organizations about efforts made to date and future recovery needs that can be supported through clean energy solutions. AMPlify Appalachia will also kick off a recovery summit in the Asheville area hosted by Footprint Project and Land of Sky Regional Council.

Join us at Sierra Nevada’s Mills River High Gravity Room for a benefit concert to remember.
