Haunting Sounds: Celebrating Autumn and All Hallows' Eve

About this event

Appalachian Chamber Music Festival presents “Haunting Sounds: Celebrating Autumn and All Hallows’ Eve” Get into the Halloween spirit with us for a fun, eclectic concert showcasing the versatility of the guitar and violin! We’re delighted to have esteemed musicians and ACMF friends from the US Army’s “Pershing’s Own” orchestra, Sergey Prokofyev and Jan Knutson. The tradition of Halloween originated in Ireland, so join us in celebrating the Irish way, with jigs rooted in the Samhain tradition. Then dive into a spooky mix of favorites like Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” jazz standards, and some creepy movie music, including K-pop Demon Hunters and Ghostbusters. Music that’s familiar, surprising, and sure to put a fun spirit in your October! Seated in the intimacy of the parlors at Happy Retreat, audiences can enjoy chamber music as it was meant to be heard—in a 19th-century parlor whose acoustics are perfectly suited to these vivid and engaging performances. Curated by the Appalachian Chamber Music Festival, each concert assembles high-caliber musicians of both regional and international renown. Program An eclectic mix of spirited and dynamic music for violin and guitar to get you in the Halloween spirit, from “Ghostbusters” to Irish reels to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”. Musicians Sergey Prokofyev, violin Jan Knutson, guitar Tickets $35 General Admission/$15 Students (limited)/$5 Children under 18 years old (limited)
