BOONE, NORTH CAROLINA — An Appalachian Summer Festival will showcase an exciting lineup of the best in music, dance, theatre, visual arts and film this July for its 31st season in the mountains of North Carolina. Beginning in 1984 as a chamber music festival, An Appalachian Summer Festival continues to share classical music with the High Country by bringing world-renowned orchestras and chamber ensembles to the campus of Appalachian State University.
Broyhill Chamber Ensemble – July 7, 9, 21, 30
Every summer, chamber music takes center stage at An Appalachian Summer Festival, as violinist Gil Morgenstern, Artistic Director of the Broyhill Chamber Ensemble and its International Reflections Series, assembles several of the nation’s most exciting and accomplished chamber musicians for an exquisite and moving concert series. Performing throughout the U.S. and Europe, the ensemble presents an alternative to the conventional approach to chamber music programming. Performance times are at 8 p.m. on July 7, 9, 21 and 30 at Rosen Concert Hall. For more information, visit http://appsummer.org/schedule/id/814.
