If you thought orchestra music only happens in a concert hall, think again. Meet ALT ASO, a new mobile chamber music series created by the Asheville Symphony.

🎶 ALT ASO at Highland Brewing Company | Tues., Jan. 25 | 7-9 p.m. | This concert will showcase an eclectic mix of musical genres + styles think: Dolly Parton, Verdi, Nirvana, Queen + more, plus even more surprises.

Bonus: Highland has made a special beer for the occasion, and you’ll have a chance to snag exclusive branded swag, too. Tickets are $40, and available now.
