The Society’s April concerts will showcase two folk concerts with an exotic twist! The performances will feature Ashville-based Chris Rosser, a singer-songwriter, and composer whose music has been strongly influenced by his keen interest in world cultures and instruments. Fascinated with Indian music since childhood, he plays a wide variety of instruments that adds a mysterious, Old World sound to many of his songs. Joining Chris, for the two performances, is the gifted multi-percussionist, River Guerguerian.
