HEARTS Happening: Let Freedom Spring
Join us for a very special HEARTS Happening event featuring historians and authors Scott Syfert and David Fleming on land that was once part of Alexandriana, the massive plantation estate of John McKnitt Alexander. Presented at Pioneer Springs Community School, the program features the historic Freedom Spring, where a colonial group of Princeton scholars met to discuss freedom from British Rule which prompted the creation of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence on May 20, 1775.
Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox - Magic & Moonlight Tour
Concertgoers can expect to enter a parallel musical universe where modern- day earworms and iconic pop hits alike are reimagined in classic genres like 1920s jazz, Swing, Doo-wop and Motown, and brought to life by a cast of some of the world’s best singers, dancers, and instrumentalists. Think “The Great Gatsby” meets “Sinatra at the Sands” meets “Back! …To The Future”.
Charlotte Symphony Orchestra: Become Ocean
Dive into the world of John Luther Adams’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Become Ocean as the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra transforms Blume Studios into an immersive soundscape with a live performance of the work, inspired by the stunning waters of the Pacific Northwest. Featuring dynamic light projections and a 360° spatial audio experience, this multi-sensory event invites a profound meditation on the beauty and fragility of the natural world, continuing through self-guided explorations of GAIA, a breathtaking three-dimensional display of Earth, and Groundswell, an interactive installation that prompts reflection on humanity’s relationship with the planet and one another.
Earl Jam: A Tribute to Earl Scruggs
Tony Trischka honors the music of Earl Scruggs, pioneer of the three-finger banjo style and one of the most important musicians in bluegrass, with special guest Woody Pratt.
Trischka recently came into possession of extremely rare recordings of jam sessions with Scruggs and John Hartford, and he’ll be debuting Scruggs’s note-for-note solos from a few of these. Together with his ace band—Michael Daves on vocals and guitar, bassist Jared Engel, fiddler Brittany Haas, and sometimes Maddie Witler on mandolin — they will trace the story of Scruggs from his childhood to his final years.
Special Guest and Grammy award winner Woody Platt is best known as the former guitarist and vocalist for the Steep Canyon Rangers, a bluegrass band formed in North Carolina that often plays with comedian/banjoist Steve Martin.
