These four sessions will take place the first Fridays of September thru December, and feature an intimate listening experience with top musicians from our region.

This intimate concert series is a unique take on the musical experience here in the Blue Ridge. These smaller venues allow both the performers and audience to have a deeper experience with the music.

"The Glencoe Sessions" will be held in the beautifully restored period rooms where the audience can appreciate the history and beauty of the house while also enjoying music inspired by the history of the region.

Tickets are $15.00 or $50.00 for tickets to all four sessions.

Advance tickets may be purchased in person with cash or check by visiting the Glencoe Mansion, Museum & Gallery or online at: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/friendsoftheblueridge.

Beverages will be available for purchase.

Doors open at 5:30 PM and the show starts at 6:00 PM.
