Think pre-concert talk meets two friends catching up over a beer. Get closer to the music and hear from festival headliner Béla Fleck and Asheville Symphony Music Director Darko Butorac. They’ll discuss life as musicians, Fleck’s journey to the classical genre, the Festival Finale program—including Fleck’s The Imposter Concerto for banjo and orchestra, the first of its kind — and more. All this with the stunning greenery-filled backdrop of the Festival’s brewery partner, Cursus Kĕmē.
