SUPPORT MOUNTAIN MUSIC

Family Fun Day

Join us for a free Family Fun Day for all ages, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 12 at the Music Center. Activities include performances by youth and mentor bands, an instrument petting zoo, a youth jam, museum scavenger hunt, art activities, and guided hikes.

The day wraps up with a free concert by Grammy Award winners Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer in the indoor theater. Their superb harmonies are backed by instrumental virtuosity. The two are trailblazers in children’s music and have been connecting families through tunes for more than 30 years.

Lighting Project

Help the Blue Ridge Music Center “Light Up the Stage” with new cost-effective, energy-efficient LED lighting. 

The Music Center’s stage lighting currently operates with outdated Par 64 lamps that require lots  of energy and wear out quickly. They are difficult and expensive to replace because  the bulbs are no longer manufactured and can only be purchased on the secondary  market.  

This lighting is no longer sustainable.

We need to purchase LED fixtures and converters to brighten our stage and provide  more sustainable and energy-efficient lighting for years to come.

Milepost Music Volunteers

Love music and the outdoors? We’re looking for volunteers to assist with our free Milepost Music concerts on Sunday afternoons. We’d love your help setting up tents and equipment with concert staff before the show and breakdown afterward. During the performance, volunteers can greet concertgoers and provide information about the program and Blue Ridge Parkway. The performances are hosted from 2 to 4 p.m., so you can pick between an earlier set-up shift (noon to 2 p.m.), or a later breakdown shift (4 to 5 p.m.), or stay for both.
