In this difficult time for all of us, the only thing BMC has to fight back with is our music. Please enjoy BMC Artistic Director Keith Lockhart leading the Brevard Music Center Orchestra in Mozart’s Symphony No. 41 (Movement IV: Molto allegro) at Whittington-Pfohl Auditorium. For the remaining exuberant and introspective movements of the composer’s last symphony – and more BMC musical moments from past seasons – please visit youtube.com/brevardmusiccenter.

Ease your isolation and connect to our global community by grabbing a copy of “Mic Cheka” from the LEAF ONEmic on iTunes, Spotify, or Amazon.
Studio engineers & youth from LEAF International Haiti, Tanzania & AVL ONEmic studios came to Asheville to participate in a masterclass at Echo Mountain Studios. The group learned & embraced valuable studio production skills that they took back home to share with their ONEmic communities and incorporate them into the production of their own music. It was the perfect opportunity to help jumpstart the group’s careers in production as each of them has shown years of dedication to the craft.
Join LEAF in supporting the creative talents of global youth using music production as their most valuable resource in preserving their cultures.
Tune in with me on Facebook Live each morning at 7:30am for a 20 minute live meditation with didgeridoo. I’ll be guiding you through simple and effective ways that will help you to:
- Calm your nervous system
- Become more resilient to stress
- Get you ready for the day and evening
The intention is for you to learn this simple skillset quickly and use it right now to stay centered, balanced and show up for yourself, your family, and your community.
The more of us that can do that, the better! I hope to see you soon.
Warmly,
Corey Costanzo
