The Asheville Symphony will strum the first notes of its 2025-26 Masterworks Series on Saturday, Sept. 20, as the community reflects on a year since Hurricane Helene.
Masterworks 1: Eroica will honor our shared community resilience, opening with a piece commissioned for the occasion entitled “The Things We Say to Death,” composed by Asheville Symphony’s own Amber Ferenz, Second Bassoonist.
World-renowned guest
A very special guest artist will also be in attendance: American classical pianist Emanuel Ax.
Largely considered one of the best living pianists in the world. Ax will perform Beethoven’s “Piano Concerto No. 3" before the show concludes with Beethoven’s heroic “Symphony No. 3, Eroica.”
Two chances to support
Audiences have only two opportunities to experience this moving Masterworks performance — Saturday at 2 p.m. and again at 8 p.m. at the First Baptist Church. A portion of net proceeds will directly benefit the River Arts District Artists Foundation.
Find tickets online or by calling the symphony’s box office at (828) 254-7046.
