In a powerful collaboration with the Hickory Choral Society, CVCC Chorus, and LRU A Cappella Choir, the Western Piedmont Symphony—professional orchestra of the western foothills of North Carolina—presents Grant Us Peace, a stirring program reflecting humanity’s enduring hope for peace. Featuring acclaimed baritone Michael Adams and soprano Janinah Burnett, the concert includes Adams’s Christian Zeal and Activity, Debussy’s The Martyrdom of St. Sebastian, and Vaughan Williams’s transcendent Dona nobis pacem. Blending orchestral and choral masterpieces, this moving performance offers a profound call for healing and harmony in a turbulent world.

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) is a fast, furious, and laugh-out-loud sprint through the Bard’s best (and weirdest) moments. Expect tragic deaths, wild romances and more ridiculous wigs than a royal court as three performers attempt to tackle every play and sonnet in one whirlwind performance. This play is brought to you by Mike Yow and Fire in the Head Productions.

A Lecture Demonstration Series for the Curious, the New, and the Devotee

Sun, Mar 1 • 3 pm | 60 Minutes

There are songs of loss and songs of found. No music has gone deeper into heartache, flirtation, and reverie than jazz. From Billie Holiday’s ache to Sarah Vaughan’s sass, from the lonely beauty of Miles Davis to the spiritual seriousness of John Coltrane, ballads are more than songs—they’re confessions, memories, and quiet acts of resilience.

Jazz Is for Everyone is a series of five one-hour sessions exploring jazz music. Come to one or join them all—each session stands on its own and welcomes listeners at any level.

What You’ll Experience:

Guided listening
Live music demonstrations
Stories that connect the music to people, places, and intent
A space for questions, curiosity, and shared discovery

Jeremy Walker launched Jazz Is for Everyone in 2004 at his Brilliant Corners Jazz Club, with Wynton Marsalis serving as Artistic Advisor. The program was developed as an Educational Affiliate with Jazz at Lincoln Center. Since then, Walker’s been writing, composing, performing, producing, and speaking about why this music still matters.
