Symphony concert
Bluegrass stars Hank, Pattie & the Current will join Winston-Salem Symphony Chorus for the sacred liturgy in Carol Barnettâs âThe World Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass.â
The concert will be conducted by symphony Chorus Director Christopher Gilliam and will be performed at Reynolds Auditorium. The bluegrass mass premiered in 2007 and blends the classical mass, modern choral sophistication, touching poetry and traditional bluegrass instrumentation.
Hank Smith and Pattie Hopkins Kinlaw combine bluegrass with classical, Motown and other genres to offer a twist on their music. They are backed by an all-star band of Carolina musicians: Stevie Martinez on bass and vocals and Billie Feather on guitar.
