Pan Harmonia: Afternoon Interlude at the Library with Flute & Harp

Jackson County Public Library


Join us at the Jackson County Public to enjoy the beautiful acoustic sounds of flute and harp as Pan Harmonia musicians Kate Steinbeck and Jessica Schaeffer share music from near and far. This concert will be in the Community Room on Friday, November 14th at 4pm. They will look back 100 years, exploring the musical milieus of the 1920s with works by Florence Price, a trail-blazing African-American female composer, plus George Gershwin, sounds of Scotland and even salsa!
Pan Haromonia is an award-winning chamber music company in Asheville, nationally recognized for its artistic excellence and creative vision, and for sharing its music around the region through its Shining Light Project, admission-free programs advocating music’s enlightening and healing power and transcending boundaries of access.
Now in its 26th season, Pan Harmonia’s repertoire ranges from iconic masterpieces to beautiful new works, spanning the world from the Renaissance to the Now. Despite a pandemic and Hurricane Helene, this resilient company has persisted in making and sharing its beautiful music! 

This program is free and open to the public. For more information please call the library at 828-586-2016. The Jackson County Public Library is a member of the Fontana Regional Librar

NAACP: The Story of Us

NAACP: The Story of Us

Jackson County Public Library


Join us at the Jackson County Public Library as the NAACP presents The Story of Us: Cooking and Storytelling- Gullah / Geechee style.  This program will be in the Community Room on Saturday, November 15th at 1pm. Folks will learn about one person's family history and ties to the Geechee community by cooking food and storytelling. The Gullah/Geechee people of today are descendants of enslaved Africans from several tribal groups of west and central Africa forced to work on the plantations of coastal North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Many waterways parting the land made travel to the mainland difficult and rare. This separation forced people to blend tribal languages with English and maintain arts, crafts, religious beliefs, folklore, rituals, and food preferences connected to their African roots.
*Registration is required* To register please click here or call the library at 828-586-2106. The Jackson County Public Library is a member of the Fontana Regional Library.
