December is a time of joyful and thoughtful seasonal reflection, and at winter’s arrival Asheville audiences come together for the annual performance of A Swannanoa Solstice. Headlined by world renowned musicians Al Petteway, Amy White, and Robin Bullock playing guitar, mandolin, fiddle, Appalachian dulcimer, piano, harp, and world percussion, these performances are enhanced further by the voices and talents of special guest musicians, storytellers, dancers, and host Doug Orr. Plan now to gather with family and friends for one of the two performances offered to accommodate ticket demand for this holiday tradition.
