To celebrate WNC’s partnership with BMC and Conductor Keith Lockhart’s 10th anniversary as artistic director, the magazine invited guests to experience an evening of music during the Dvořák Cello Concerto. A pre-party included hors d’oeuvres and drinks from Jaime’s Creole Brasserie in Brevard and a private piano performance by one of the center’s young talents.

David Geng, a BMC Summer Institute student studying piano, performed during the pre-party.
