Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts

Experience the power of music, storytelling, and our changing planet 🌎🎶

Join us at the Schaefer Center for award-winning Trinidadian trumpeter Etienne Charles' latest project, "Earth Tones." This multimedia jazz performance brings to life the sounds, stories, and communities most impacted by changing weather patterns. Through music, film, and spoken word, this immersive performance explores environmental resilience and the urgency of protecting our world.

We’re proud to partner with Blue Ridge Conservancy. Stop by their table in the Schaefer Center lobby before the show to learn how you can help protect the lands and waters of the High Country. 💚

TONIGHT! Ailey II brings their energy and talent to the Schaefer Center stage!
