BOONE, N.C. – The 2006 season of “An Appalachian Summer Festival” promises a summer filled with the biggest names in classical, jazz, bluegrass, folk, popular, dance and visual arts programming.
In addition to this exciting mix, Artistic Director Gil Morgenstern will showcase the exceptional quality of the festival’s resident chamber ensemble in the Recital Series, which, along with the notable “Works In Progress Series,” continues a tradition of patron and artist dialogue rooted in the art salons of the nineteenth century.
Rounding it all out is the much-anticipated outdoor fireworks finale concert, completing a season of arts and entertainment to rival the artistic menus of major cities. Yet, the setting- an art form itself- is far from metropolitan. Nestled in the lovely Blue Ridge Mountains, Boone’s cool breezes, starry nights and small-town friendliness offer the perfect stage for an unforgettable encounter with the arts.
In July, North Carolina’s High Country truly offers “art at a higher altitude.”
