Big Stone Gap

Join the Pro-Art Association in welcoming Symphony of the Mountains' celebrated string ensemble, the “Mountain Strings” will present two outdoor performances as a part of Pro-Art’s Picnic with the Arts Summer Series. On Saturday, June 26th, the ensemble will perform at 3:00 PM at the Cumberland Bowl Park Amphitheater in Jonesville, and again in the evening at 7:00 PM at the June Tolliver Playhouse in Big Stone Gap.

The program will include a variety of styles including Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik," Strauss' "Blue Danube Waltz," as well as the music of Leroy Anderson, Georges Bizet, and Fritz Kreisler. Treasured hymns such as "Amazing Grace" and "The Lord's Prayer" will give time to reflect on the difficulties of the past year. The finale of the concert is a medley of Appalachian tunes arranged by local composer Benjamin Dawson including an original work, the "Woodbooger Waltz."

Admission to both performances is free, and these events are open to the public. If you plan to attend the afternoon show in Jonesville, we invite you to bring a blanket or lawn chairs to spread out on the park lawn. Please join us in celebrating good music in good company as we come together again with our region’s favorite symphony!
