February 15th at 7pm @ The ORHS Performing Arts Center
Immerse yourself in an evening of music exploring profound connections between nature and emotions. Featuring works by John Luther Adams, Thomas Adès, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Inocente Carreño, this concert promises to captivate your senses and feelings. The journey begins as chants and water "Become River," then sails "Over the Sea," falling in love with the Second Piano Concerto, and docking on the Margarita island in Venezuela with its vibrant "Glosa Sinfónica Margariteña."

Join us for an unforgettable evening of elegance and generosity, featuring a lavish dinner, live music, and a curated auction. This year, we dedicate the Sweethearts Ball to our sweethearts—the children whose lives are enriched by Knoxville Opera’s education programs. Your support will directly fund initiatives that bring the magic of opera to young minds, inspiring creativity and fostering a lifelong love for the arts. Together, we can ensure a bright future for opera and the next generation. Let’s raise a glass—and raise the bar for arts education—at this spectacular celebration.

Building on a 70-year history as one of the most influential bluegrass bands in the region, the New Dismembered Tennesseans today bring a new lineup, new repertoire, and new energy to the band founded by Tennessee master fiddler and philanthropist Fletcher Bright and his high school friends back in 1945. Make that “mostly” new lineup, as original banjo player Ed “Doc” Cullis still performs with the band today. Today, along with Cullis, the band features long-time members Laura Walker (bass & vocals) and Don Cassell (mandolin & vocals) plus Bobby Burns (guitar & vocals), Tom Morley (fiddle & vocals) and Fletcher’s granddaughter, Eleanor Bright (clawhammer banjo & vocals).
