‘Tis the season for giving back, and this campaign certainly hits the right note.

Experience the timeless power of Handel’s “Messiah,” as the Asheville Symphony returns to the stage for three performances on Friday, Nov. 22, and Saturday, Nov. 23.

Originally performed as a benefit concert, “Messiah,” carries special meaning this season. The symphony will host a Thanksgiving Food Drive to restock the First Baptist Church of Asheville’s food pantry.

Join the Symphony to celebrate resilience, community, and music. Get tickets + give back.
