Highlands
Cashiers Chamber Music Festival: Classical Music with an Appalachian
Flair
For more than
25 years, the Highlands Cashiers Chamber Music Festival has united
performers and audiences in the mountains of Appalachia. Join musical
exemplars and fellow aficionados as you trace the strands of classical
and traditional Appalachian music through lectures and performances.
Learn how the stories that have been told for centuries with banjos,
guitars and dulcimers have influenced Appalachian culture. Lectures
preceding concerts prepare you to hear the intricacies of the music
and to understand some of the musical theory. Visit two breathtaking
performances at the “Highlands Performing Arts Center”.
Guest artists in previous years have included Sara Sant’ Ambrosio,
Will Ransom, the Alexander String Quartet, and many more renowned
artists.
