Add to list

What you need to know

The Asheville Symphony is western North Carolina's premier professional orchestra, performing a full season of Masterworks concerts, chamber music, and special events. Founded in 1960, the orchestra brings world-class conductors and soloists to stages across Asheville under Music Director Darko Butorac.

Local's Tip

Grab the 2:00 PM matinee for a more relaxed vibe, or go for the 8:00 PM evening show when the energy in the room really builds. Parking is easy at the Church Street deck nearby.

What the locals say

"If you haven't been to a Symphony show yet, you're missing out. There's something about hearing a full orchestra in person that just hits different — especially in a venue like First Baptist Church where the acoustics are unreal."
