Brevard Music Center 2010 Festival
Friday, June 4th, 2010
For 74 years the hills of western North Carolina have come alive with music from mid-June to early August thanks to the Brevard Music Center in nearby Brevard, North Carolina. For seven weeks each summer, talented students ages 14 through post-college, participate in a rigorous and enriching program of music education, and delight audiences with more than 80 public performances throughout the summer Festival season. Performances, under the direction of Keith Lockhart, Artistic Director, take place in an 1800-seat, open-air auditorium of redwood and natural stone. World-class visiting artists have appeared here, including such musicians as cellist Yo-Yo Ma, violinists Joshua Bell and Midori, pianists Andre Watts and Emanuel Ax, soprano Renee Fleming and mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade. Enjoy an evening of world-class music en plein air just a short drive from our North Carolina mountain lake lodge.
