The Amadeus Festival began in 2015 as a week-long event, and in 2017 and 2019 was expanded to a grand 10-day festival bringing together some of Asheville’s most talented musicians, artists, brewers, and entertainers for a schedule of performances, education programs, collaborations, and social events. Headlining artists have included Emanuel Ax, Midori, Warren Haynes, and Garrick Ohlsson.
Building upon the success of the rock-themed Festival in 2019, the 2023 Festival moves in another exciting new direction this year, celebrating all things Americana with theater, art, music, culinary arts, and more. Featuring banjo superstar Béla Fleck as the Festival Headliner, Kishi Bashi as the Festival Opener, and 25+ partner organizations offering 40+ events throughout this extraordinary ten-day Festival, this is the most ambitious Amadeus in Asheville Symphony history!
