SUMMARY:Punch Brothers

Known for pushing the boundaries of acoustic music\, the band has garnered critical acclaim\, including a Grammy for Best Folk Album for All Ashore (2018). The Washington Post applauded them for taking “bluegrass to its next evolutionary stage\, drawing equal inspiration from the brain and the heart.” Over the years\, they’ve become pioneers in modern string music\, with albums like Antifogmatic (2010)\, Who’s Feeling Young Now (2012) and The Phosphorescent Blues (2015) showcasing their genre-defying sound. Rolling Stone praised their work as “wild virtuosity used for more than just virtuosity\,” cementing their reputation as trailblazers in contemporary acoustic music. Most Recently\, Punch Brothers have been focused on their new musical variety show\, The Energy Curfew Music Hour\, with seasons one and two available on Audible and all podcasting platforms. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Charlotte Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Reflecting on the meaning of home\, the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra presents a stirring program on the longing for beloved countrysides and pride of cherished folk music under the baton of Resident Conductor Christopher James Lees. Dvořák’s “New World” Symphony blends elements of the Czech composer’s heritage as he yearns for home with American musical influences in his excitement for a new land. Known for the moving “Simple Gifts” melody\, Copland’s Suite from Appalachian Spring offers a contrasting portrayal of a couple trying to establish their homestead in rural America in a work full of spirit and wonder. \nWebsite
