SUMMARY:Appalachian Summer Festival: Maeve Gilchrist featuring Aizuri Quartet & Kyle Sanna: The Harpweaver
DESCRIPTION:photo credit: Shervin Lainez\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Broyhill Chamber Series Event\n\nSponsored by McDonald’s of Boone\nMaeve Gilchrist (harp\, vocals)\nKyle Sanna (guitar) \nAizuri Quartet\nEmma Frucht and Miho Saegusa\, Violins\nAyane Kozasa\, Viola\nKaren Ouzounian\, Cello \nHarpist and composer Maeve Gilchrist’s new offering The Harpweaver plays on the idea of artistic nostalgia. When we can’t be with those that we love\, surely the next best thing is to experience the catharsis of familiar sounds; notes and words that bring a sense of connection\, possibility and joy. Originally from Edinburgh\, Gilchrist — a migrant musician — has been making her mark as a ground-breaking harpist on the streets of New York and Boston for for nearly two decades through her collaborations with The Silkroad Project\, Nic Gareiss\, Viktor Krauss\, Ambrose Akinmusire\, Darol Anger\, Solas and Okkyung Lee. With The Harpweaver\, Gilchrist steps into her own as a composer and producer and illuminates her roots as a traditional folk musician through the prism of luscious string parts\, electronic manipulation and an archived recitation of “The Ballad of the Harpweaver\,” by the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay\, a celebrity of Jazz-Age America. \nIn addition to “The Harpweaver” program\, the Grammy-nominated Aizuri Quartet (who recently appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert accompanying Wilco in a performance of “Poor Places”) will bring a selection of their trademark exploratory repertoire juxtaposing the timeless old with strikingly new and exhilarating string compositions. \nFor tickets go to: https://appsummer.org/event/maeve-gilchrist-featuring-aizuri-quartet-kyle-sanna-the-harpweaver/

SUMMARY:Appalachian Summer Festival: Broadway's Next Hit Musical
DESCRIPTION:photo credit: Love Imagery \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhose Line Is It Anyway? meets The Tony Awards. Every song is fresh. Every scene is new. Every night is different. It’s all improvised and it’s all funny. \nThe New York Times calls Broadway’s Next Hit Musical “Hilarious!” \nTime Out NY says “At last! A musical of\, for\, and by the people.” \nBroadway’s Next Hit Musical is the only unscripted theatrical awards show. Have you heard of the TONY awards? Well\, Broadway’s Next Hit Musical is…The PHONY Awards! The audience members write down made up song titles and our master improvisers gather these suggestions and present them as “nominated songs” for this coveted award. We create spontaneous scenes and songs filled with great dancing\, catchy melodies\, and tons of laughter. The audience votes for their favorite song and watches as the cast turns that song into a full blown improvised musical – complete with memorable characters\, witty dialogue\, and plot twists galore. BNHM has been seen recently throughout the United States and in New York City at The Triad Theater\, The Tribeca Film Festival\, and at The New York Musical Theater Festival\, among many other locations. \nUnder the direction of improv veterans Rob Schiffmann and Deb Rabbai\, TheaterWeek hailed the show as “brilliant” and The New York Post called Broadway’s Next Hit Musical “remarkable.” \nDon’t miss the next great American musical — it could be written by YOU! \nFor tickets go to: https://appsummer.org/event/broadways-next-hit-musical/

SUMMARY:Appalachian Summer Festival: Playground (Un monde)
DESCRIPTION:photo: ImagePresse \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHelene and Stephen Weicholz Global Film Series presents\nPlayground (Un monde)\nIn French with English subtitles\nBelgium\, not rated\, directed by Laura Wandel\, 2021\, drama\, 72 min \nIn this debut feature by writer-director Laura Wandel\, the everyday reality of grade school is seen from a child’s-eye-view as an obstacle course of degradation and abuse. Following 7-year-old Nora and her big brother Abel\, we see Nora struggling to fit in before finding her place on the schoolyard. One day\, she notices Abel being bullied by other kids\, and though she rushes to protect him by warning their father\, Abel forces her to remain silent\, while he endures more humiliation and harassment by his peers. Transposing the gritty realism of such filmmakers as Jacques Audiard and the Dardennes Brothers to the inner world of kids\, Wandel crafts an empathetic and visceral portrait of the cruelty of children\, and the failure of adults to protect them. Shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best International Film. \nFor tickets go to: https://appsummer.org/event/playground-un-monde/

SUMMARY:BRAHM: Shakere African Instrument Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Adults\, teens\, or children accompanied by an adult \nWe will prepare a gourd\, paint or etch on the gourd\, string the beaded skirt around it and learn one rhythm & song on the instrument. Beads\, wooden\, ceramic\, and pony plastic beads will be used. Other objects like seashells may be woven in -however\, if they are breakable the instrument may become more a work of art than a playable instrument.   African shekeres may use nut shells\, seashells or hard seeds in the design. Bead colors are an individual choice. \nIf participants do not complete the instrument in one session it is possible to continue to work on it at home. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:BRAHM: Using Technology to Save the Honey Bees

The program is supported by a nearly $1.1 million grant through the UNC System’s Research Opportunities Initiative. \nWebsite \nThis event is free but requires registration.

SUMMARY:BRAHM: Mount Mitchell and the Black Mountains
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Appalachian State University \nDon’t miss App State Professor Emeritus Tim Silver for an eye-opening discussion of his book\, Mount Mitchell and the Black Mountains: An Environmental History of the Highest Peaks in Eastern America. \nIn his work on this book\, Silver drew on both the historical record and his experience as a backpacker and fly fisherman in the region. He recounts the story of Elisha Mitchell\, the renowned University of North Carolina professor for whom the mountain is named and who fell to his death there in 1857. \nBut nature’s stories — of forest fires\, chestnut blight\, competition between plants and animals\, insect invasions\, air pollution\, and climate change — are also part of the narrative\, making it the first history of the Appalachians in which the natural world gets equal time with human actions. Only by understanding the dynamic between people and nature\, Silver believes\, can we begin to protect the mountains for future generations. \nThe book won the 2003 Ragan Old North State Award for the best work of non-fiction by a North Carolina writer. It also received the Philip D. Reed Memorial Award from the Southern Environmental Law Center\, recognizing Silver’s work as the year’s best writing on the southern environment. \nAbout the Speaker:\nSilver earned his Ph.D. at the College of William and Mary and taught in the App State Department of History for 37 years. Specializing in environmental history\, he wrote two books\, co-authored a third\, and published numerous articles in scholarly journals and popular magazines. \nWebsite
