Pinnacle String Ensemble Presents Mountain Life Concert

Join us at the Jackson County Public Library for a string ensemble performance by students from the WCU Music Program. 
The Pinnacle String Ensemble, the School of Music newest ensemble at Western Carolina University is preparing a concert in the spring taking place at the Jackson County Library Community Room on Saturday, May 3 at 3 pm featuring the music of Aaron Copland, Frederick Delius, Mark O’Connor, Chris Thile and traditional fiddle tunes. Special guest performers include local musicians Lisa Gaetano and Bruce Buchanan. Faculty member Andrew Adams will also perform with the ensemble.
The Pinnacle String Ensemble was organized this year to bring together students and
community members who play string instruments in a more intimate chamber string orchestra
setting. Kim Neidlinger is the conductor. Pinnacle refers to the area’s panoramic views and the
ensemble’s goal to develop and achieve musical excellence. The ensemble offers community
engaged learning experiences for the university students through a new program at Western
Carolina University’s Center for Community Engagement and Service Learning.
Several ensemble members are non-music majors and local community members from Sylva,
Franklin and Andrews, but desire a space to learn and perform music written for chamber and
string orchestra. The theme of their first concert is based on the campus theme Mountain Life
and is focused on music from or about Appalachia. Western Carolina University School of
Music is proud to present this event for the first time.
This concert is free and open to the public. The Jackson County Public Library is a member of the Fontana Regional Library. For more information please call the library at 828-586-2016.
