Welcome spring with music and benefit the Western North Carolina Alliance! 

Raising money for the 28-year-old environmental group has never been more enjoyable.....and cultural!

At the next Blue Ridge Orchestra Concert, "A Celebration of Spring and the Earth," environmental groups, like WNCA, will receive a dollar from the admission costs for each person who mentions a favorite environmental group when he or she buys tickets to the event.  The concert is Sunday, March 21, at 3 PM at the Diana Wortham Auditorium here in Asheville.

Music by Vivaldi and Beethoven and the conductor himself Ron Clearfield.  Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students, $5 for children 6-12 and free for children under 6.  Tickets can be ordered online at www.dwtheatre.com or by calling 257-4530.
