Dynamic tones reverberated across the Bob Johnson Performing Arts Center at Clyde A. Erwin High School on Wednesday as Buncombe County Schools’ (BCS) most talented middle and high school string musicians took the stage.

 

Families, educators, and community members gathered to celebrate rising musical stars at the annual All-County Orchestra Performance. Students from across the district earned their place after September auditions and spent two days rehearsing under the direction of guest clinicians Jennie Quinn and Sabrina Howard before taking the stage. The middle and high school orchestras enthralled concert-goers with a range of classical and contemporary musical pieces- from Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 5” finale to Kirt Mosier’s “Blue Rhythmico.”
