MUSIC
CENTER
Music seems to be a natural part of these mountains –
practically inseparable from those who call this special place
home. No where is that heritage felt more strongly than here on
the banks of Chestnut Creek and in the shadow of Fisher Peak.
The people of these mountains have created and kept alive
some of the richest traditions of folk music and dance in our
nation, much of it being commercially recorded in the 1920s
and 1930s. The region is nationally recognized as a center of
traditional Blue Ridge Music. The music here arises from diverse
ethnic groups, European and African, and has evolved over
generations into distinct styles with distinct identities. It reflects
community, personal values, and cultural connections to the wider
world.
Some of the music here is very similar to the nineteenth
century styles dominated by fiddle and banjo, reminiscent of
the “marriage” of these two instruments on the new American
frontier. It is a mistake, however, to think that the music of these
mountains has been stagnant and unchanging for all of the years
people have lived here playing and listening to it. It was brought
to the mountains with the early settlers but in many cases,
became uniquely American, with a blended style resulting from
varied influences.
The Blue Ridge Music Center is managed cooperatively by the
National Park Service and The National Council for the Traditional
Arts, (a non-profit organization). Its purpose is to honor and
preserve the rich musical traditions of the Blue Ridge.
Concerts take place in the outdoor amphitheater on weekends
during the summer season and indoors in the fall. The new,
permanent exhibit called “The Roots of American Music” is available
for your enjoyment.
Please join us for Mid-day Mountain music in the breezeway
of the Visitor Center. Local musicians volunteer to perform most
days. Call for information as times vary. Free admission.
SO RELAX, ENJOY THE MUSIC, CONCERTS
AND MORE AT THE BLUE RIDGE MUSIC CENTER,
A PLACE WE THINK YOU WILL AGREE, IS NEAR TO THE
HEART OF AMERICA AND ITS MUSIC.
