Musicians from across the state will again share the stage with the North Carolina Symphony in Capital Bank Blue Skies and Red Earth, a celebration that showcases the richness of traditional music of North Carolina, in performances in Asheville, Cullowhee, Hickory, Murphy, and Rutherfordton.

The local concert will start at 7:30 pm on Thursday, May 24, 2007, in Enloe Hall at Tri-County Community College on US 64 East.
