SUMMARY:Charlotte Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:A Classic Concert Series Event\nPresenting Sponsorship provided by Bonnie and Jamie Schaefer\, Christine Petti\, and Neil and Nancy SchaffelPrincipal Sponsorship provided by App State Campus Store\, Broyhill Family Foundation\, Catsman Foundation\, and Mast General Store \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				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. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tickets\nContact theschaefercenter@appstate.edu\, call 828-262-4046\, visit the box office at the Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts\, or purchase online.TICKETS ON SALE: April 15 at 10am \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				$45 Tier 1$35 Tier 2$25 Tier 3$10 student/child \nApp State Faculty/Staff:BUY EARLY\, SAVE NOW.APRIL 15-30 ONLY!$5 off Tiers 1\, 2 & 3 for Schaefer Center performances.

SUMMARY:Merz Trio
DESCRIPTION:A Classic Concert Series Event\nPresenting Sponsorship provided by Bonnie and Jamie Schaefer\, Christine Petti\, and Neil and Nancy SchaffelPrincipal Sponsorship provided by App State Campus Store\, Broyhill Family Foundation\, Catsman Foundation\, and Mast General Store \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Brigid Coleridge\, ViolinJulia Yang\, CelloAmy Yang\, Piano \nHailed as “entrancing” (BBC Music Magazine) and “artists in the deepest sense of the word” (CutCommon)\, Merz Trio\, winners of the Naumburg\, Concert Artists Guild\, Fischoff and Chesapeake Competitions\, and recipients of a Salon de Virtuosi Career Grant\, have been lauded for their “stunning virtuosity… fresh and surprising interpretations” (Reading Eagle)\, and “perfection of intonation and ensemble” (Hudson Review). Merz Trio are passionately committed to reshaping the narrative of classical music through vibrantly dynamic programming and wide-ranging interdisciplinary collaboration. Their narrative programming style juxtaposes classical standards\, new music\, and their own arrangements of familiar and forgotten works\, fluidly interwoven and guided with speaking from the Trio’s members. \nPROGRAMClara’s Circle \nThis program traces friendship through the steps of Clara Wieck Schumann\, from 1857-1859\, by way of flowers. It reflects sentiments from her Blumentagebuch – her diary of pressed flowers – in which Clara left dedications to meaningful people and moments in her life. This precious book accompanied her as she toured throughout Europe and served as a record of relationships\, mourning and memory. Moving amongst Clara’s floral meditations\, we explore floriography in its romantic heyday and delight in the coded and the unspoken. With Clara\, we visit Robert\, Beethoven and Brahms\, and bring in a musical friend of our own\, Chris Rogerson (b. 1988). In River Songs\, Rogerson recalls family trips to Stehekin\, WA\, capturing its distinct topography and sense of nostalgia. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tickets\nContact theschaefercenter@appstate.edu\, call 828-262-4046\, visit the box office at the Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts\, or purchase online.TICKETS ON SALE: April 15 at 10am \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				$45 Standard$40 App State Faculty/Staff$20 student/child \nAll tickets include NC sales tax.Online sales are subject to ticket fees. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Buy Tickets\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Parking\nParking can be challenging\, particularly for sold-out events.

SUMMARY:Aaron Diehl
DESCRIPTION:A Classic Concert Series Event\nPresenting Sponsorship provided by Bonnie and Jamie Schaefer\, Christine Petti\, and Neil and Nancy SchaffelPrincipal Sponsorship provided by App State Campus Store\, Broyhill Family Foundation\, Catsman Foundation\, and Mast General Store \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Pianist Aaron Diehl has quietly redefined the boundary between jazz and classical music\, building an international career distinguished by stylistic fluency\, intellectual rigor\, and a deep sense of musical lineage. Praised for his “melodic precision\, harmonic erudition\, and elegant restraint” (The New York Times)\, Diehl is increasingly recognized as a singular voice whose work moves freely across genres while remaining grounded in historical awareness. He has worked extensively with figures such as Tyshawn Sorey\, Timo Andres\, Philip Glass\, and Cécile McLorin Salvant\, forging projects that span concerti\, chamber music\, orchestral works\, and jazz performance. In 2023\, Diehl was named as the Artistic Director of 92NY’s Jazz in July Festival\, succeeding the legendary Bill Charlap. \nProgram selections include (subject to change): \nFrom the Southland\, Harry T. BurleighTroubled Waters\, Margaret BondsSt. Martin de Porres\, Mary Lou Williams arr. A.
