From the opening chords of Bach’s celebrated Toccata and Fugue in D Minor to the closing strains from the score of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Music Director Milton Crotts has designed a program that evokes the spirit of Halloween. Works from the classical music world—Mozart’s Don Giovanni Overture, Saint-Saëns’ Danse Macabre, and Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King—are complemented with selections from Broadway’s Wicked and The Phantom of the Opera.

The Orchestra is delighted to extend its collaboration with Haywood Community College, where one of our October and December programs will be performed this season, with proceeds benefitting HCC students. Community outreach—sharing fine music with all of Western North Carolina—is central to the ensemble’s mission. The Well-Tempered Wizard is sure to put the ghosts and goblins of both Buncombe and Haywood counties in the mood for a happy musical Halloween.

2023 has been a whirlwind of a year for The Head And The Heart. The acclaimed Seattle band sold out the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre for the seventh time, co-headlined a tour with The Revivalists, and announced their own boutique two-day music festival in Napa, CA, Down in The Valley. They will go on to play co-headline dates with Father John Misty and perform at festivals including Beach Road Weekend, Pilgrimage Music & Culture Festival, and more this year.

In 2022, the band released their fifth studio album Every Shade of Blue. The album was produced by GRAMMY-award winning songwriter, producer and engineer Jesse Shatkin (Sia, Pink, The Shins, Tegan and Sara) except for album tracks “Shadows”, “Don’t Show Your Weakness” and “Love We Make” which were produced by Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief, Wet), and “Paradigm”, produced by John Hill and Sammy Witte (Florence + The Machine, Portugal The Man, Cage The Elephant), and mastered by Emily Lazar and Chris Allgood at The Lodge, NY.

Initially self-released in 2011, The Head And The Heart’s self-titled breakout debut produced instant classics including “Rivers and Roads,” “Down in the Valley” and “Lost in My Mind” (#1 at AAA) and is now certified Gold. 2013’s Let’s Be Still and 2016’s Signs of Light settled into the top 10 of The Billboard 200 album chart, with Signs of Light securing the #1 position on Rock Album Charts, scoring the band’s first #1 at Alternative radio with “All We Ever Knew” and also holding the #1 spot at AAA for nine straight weeks. The band’s fourth full-length album, Living Mirage, was released to critical praise in 2019. “Missed Connection” reached the #1 position on the Alternative Chart as well as the Mediabase and BDS alternative charts, after having already achieved #1 on the AAA chart. The album’s breakout track, “Honeybee,” became a fan favorite with 153M+ total global streams and 1M+ global weekly streams. The Head And The Heart have appeared in Cameron Crowe’s Roadies, and their music has been featured in countless other commercials, films and TV, among them Corona, Silver Linings Playbook and more. The band is a touring powerhouse, having landed prime-time mainstage slots at Coachella, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits.

Hosted by the Asheville Guitar Bar, a discussion series provides
deeper understanding and greater enjoyment of classic albums and recording artists. Led by
Asheville speaker, author and music journalist Bill Kopp, Music to Your Ears is an interactive
experience that shines a light on important music and people. Music to Your Ears is a 90-minute
conversation, held at the Guitar Bar, a music magnet in Asheville’s historic River Arts District.
The November 1 event is a listening party and discussion focusing on Court and Spark, the
classic 1974 album from Joni Mitchell.
At the time of its release in early 1974, Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark was merely the latest in
remarkable string of superb albums from Joni Mitchell. With the benefit of a half century’s
hindsight, the album – a seamless blending of folk, jazz, rock and more – can be seen as one of the most important works of the decade.
With Court and Spark, Mitchell demonstrated a seemingly effortless ability to draw from disparate musical styles and create an enduring
work.
Hugely influential, Mitchell’s sixth studio release helped point the way not only for other singer-songwriters but for artists across the
entire musical spectrum. Even beyond the album’s most well-known tracks – “Help Me” and “Free Man in Paris” – Court and Spark is
filled with adventurous musicality, incisive songwriting, dazzling arrangement and highly accessible songwriting. Universally
acclaimed, Court and Spark reliably shows up on nearly ever best-of list.
In celebration of the album’s 50th anniversary, Bill Kopp’s Music to Your Ears discussion
series presents and evening with Court and Spark. Helping lead a conversation about this
landmark and groundbreaking album is award-winning musician, singer and songwriter
Eleanor Underhill. As both a solo artist and as half of the duo Underhill Rose, Eleanor is a high profile and beloved fixture of the
Western North Carolina music scene and beyond. Counting Joni Mitchell’s Court and Spark among the most important albums that
influenced her, Underhill will share what Mitchell’s music means to her and how it helped guide her own acclaimed musical pursuits.
Join host and music journalist Bill Kopp for an evening in discussion with Eleanor Underhill about Joni
Mitchell. We’ll listen to key tracks and encourage questions from the audience. The evening is the latest
installment of the popular “Music to Your Ears’ discussion series, hosted by Asheville Guitar Bar and
sponsored by AshevilleFM.

ABOUT THE DISCUSSION SERIES
Music to Your Ears is Bill Kopp’s monthly discussion series hosted by Asheville Guitar Bar and co-sponsored by AshevilleFM. On the
first Wednesday of each month, music enthusiasts gather to discuss an important album, artist or musical movement. An interactive
evening, MTYE isn’t a lecture; it’s a discussion led by experts and designed to enrich the listening experience.
ABOUT BILL KOPP (blog.musoscribe.com)
With over 500 bylines in regional publications (Mountain Xpress, Bold Life, WNC Magazine and more), Asheville-based speaker, author
and music journalist is an acknowledged expert on popular music. Author of two books – Reinventing Pink Floyd: From Syd Barrett to
The Dark Side of the Moon and Disturbing the Peace: 415 Records and the Rise of New Wave – Bill Kopp writes for publications across
the country and abroad. A contributing editor at Goldmine Magazine, he has authored more than 30 album liner note essays and
conducted more than 1000 interviews. He regularly hosts discussions on artists and albums of historical importance, and is a frequent
guest on music-focused radio programs and podcasts.
About Eleanor Underhill (eleanorunderhillmusic.com)
Eleanor Underhill is a singer/songwriter and producer based in Asheville, North Carolina. She is the current and founding member of
two bands: Underhill Rose and Eleanor Underhill & Friends. Underhill’s prolific songwriting and passion for music has contributed to a
total of eight albums, notable accolades from the Americana, folk, and indie-rock worlds, as well as a touring history that has taken her
coast to coast in the USA and to the UK and Ireland three times. Her unique musical style and prolific writing ability has generated
significant attention outside of her bands, as she has won top honors at Asheville’s Songwriting Idol Contest and played on the Grammy
