| Sep 4 Reception: Teetering.... |
| Teetering on the Edge of the Uncanny (featuring Gus Cutty, Hannah Dansie, Alli Good, and Ian Wilkinson)
(Sep 5 - Nov 7)
Its virtually impossible to visit any urban area anywhere in the world without finding examples of street art, both sanctioned and 'illegal'. Websites such as the long-standing Wooster Collective and the recent Google Street Art Project serve as roadmaps for accessing some of the more noted examples. For Teetering on the Edge of the Uncanny, we invited four regionally-based artists will descend on the WCU campus for several days to create live action paintings on four of FAM's huge four-sided walls, using spray paint and brushes, mixing working plans with improvisation.
Teetering on the Edge Reception: Thursday, SEP 4, 5-7pm

He is principal horn in Reading Symphony Orchestra and Annapolis Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Rester also holds third horn positions with Lancaster Symphony Orchestra and Delaware Symphony Orchestra.

During his enlistment, he performed and taught nationally with Field Band’s many chamber ensembles including brass and woodwind quintets and a horn quartet.
Mr. Rester has developed a fierce reputation by winning six professional auditions and placing as semi-finalist in auditions with Philadelphia Orchestra, Boston, Milwaukee, and Richmond Symphonies among others. He can be heard on Philadelphia Orchestra’s recent recording of Mahler’s 2nd Symphony and playing Principal Horn on Delaware Symphony’s 2009 Grammy nominated album entitled “Interchange” recorded with the L.A. Guitar Quartet.

| Sep 5 Jenny Bennett Returns with a New Novel |
Sylva author, Jenny Bennett, returns to City Lights Bookstore on Friday, September 5th at 6:30 p.m. with her second book, The Twelve Streams of LeConte. The main character of the book lives in Sylva and there are scenes set in downtown, the library and even City Lights Bookstore. Anne Woodrow is on honeymoon in Scotland when fate gives her a slap in the face: right then and there, her new husband falls in love with another woman. Injured and grieving, she returns home alone and conceives of a project of renewal. She will climb Mt. LeConte in the Smokies by way of the twelve streams that drain its slopes. Its a journey that will prove to be strenuous and dangerous. The Twelve Streams of LeConte brings together mirroring worlds of adventure tales and mountains. It speaks the language of people who engage the landscape rather than admire it from a distance, and it unapologetically explores the life of a serious reader.
Jenny Bennett is also the author of Murder at the Jumpoff . Having hiked extensively in the area, she is well known in the Smokies hiking community for her blog, “Endless Streams and Forests.” To reserve copies of her books please call City Lights Bookstore at 828-586-9499. |

| Sep 11 Jackson County Genealogical Society Program - "Uncovering the Old Village....." |
“Uncovering the Old Village Beneath Lake Glenville” is the name of the Jackson County Genealogical Society’s September program. The speaker will be local historian and author, Carol Bryson.
Bryson will explain the research techniques used in creating her map, which shows the locations of pioneer settlements in Hamburg Village, later known as Glenville, from 1827 until the time the current dam was constructed in 1940. Hamburg, once flourishing with churches, homes, stores, and other businesses, now lies beneath the waters of Lake Glenville. A copy of the map is on display in the Jackson County Public Library.
Bryson will also discuss her recently published book, "Glenville and Cashiers … From The Records", written after more than 40 years of researching courthouse and archival records.
The program will be in the Community Room of the Historic Jackson County Courthouse on Thursday, September 11 at 7pm. All JCGS events are free of charge and the public is welcome. For more information call 631-2646.

| Sep 15 Photo Editing Class - Jackson County Public Library |
The Jackson County Public Library in Sylva will offer a free photo editing class on Monday, September 15th, at 5:45 p.m. The 90-minute class will be taught by retired WCU professor Roger Bacon, assisted by his wife Lisa Bacon and by library staffer Laura Chapman.
GIMP or GimpShop is a free photo editing software package that mimics Adobe PhotoShop. It has most of the photo editing tools you will need to enhance your digital pictures. In this workshop participants will attempt to illustrate the most common, while encouraging you to explore, the many possibilities the program has to offer. The Bacons will bring some pictures to illustrate examples of what can be done using GIMP. Participants are encouraged to bring a jump drive with a few of their pictures. Following is a list of topics to be covered: Downloading and installing GIMP 2.8, opening your pictures, cropping and resizing pictures, adjusting brightness and contrast, sharpening or softening, selecting part of a picture for further treatment, getting rid of “bad” spots, and using layer to enhance a picture. The class participants must have basic computer knowledge, such as keyboard and mouse skills.
The class will meet in the Library's computer lab and is limited to the first 16 participants to pre-register. (There is no fee.) Attendees should plan to arrive by 5:45 and meet in front of the Reference Desk on the second floor of the Library, before proceeding into the Computer Lab. The class will run from 5:45 to 7:15 p.m. For more information or to register, please call the Jackson County Public Library in Sylva at 586-2016.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Jackson County Public Library. The Jackson County Public Library in Sylva is part of the Fontana Regional Library system(www.fontanalib.org).

| Sep 16 Oil and Water |
| "Oil & Water" is the true story of two boys coming of age as they each confront one of the world's worst toxic disasters. Hugo and David were born on opposite ends of the oil pipeline. Hugo comes to America to fight for the survival of his Cofan tribe in the Ecuadorian Amazon, while David goes to Ecuador to launch the world's first company to certify oil as "fair trade." Their journeys lead them to explore what could be a more just future, not just for the Cofan, but for all people around the world who are born with oil beneath their feet. When Hugo Lucitante was 10 years old, his tribe made a desperate decision. Fearing extinction, they sent Hugo to be educated in the US, in hopes that he would return to lead them into a better future. A decade later, we follow Hugo as he returns to the Ecuadorian Amazon to meet his destiny, armed only with a high school diploma. David Poritz was just a sixth-grader when he learned of the oil disaster in Hugo???s homeland. With the blessing of his mother, David started a humanitarian project that led him away from his home in Amherst, Massachusetts to spend much of his youth in the Amazon. The two teenagers meet by chance during a shared canoe ride, and then again, when David offers to travel with Hugo to tour the damage cause by the 18 billion gallons of oil waste that was dumped on Hugo's ancestral lands. The area's people experience unexplainable rashes, childhood deformities and ballooning cancer rates. The film follows the boys back to the U.S. as their lives and the situation in Ecuador get more complicated. Can Hugo become the leader his tribe so desperately wants him to be? Will David clean up one of the world's dirtiest industries? Oil & Water is an intimate portrait of two young people finding their voices and trying to beat incredible odds. Eight years in the making, the film is an independent documentary funded by ITVS and MacArthur Foundation and made for broadcast on PBS. |

| Sep 23 Artist In Residence Concert #1 |
| Our first program in this year's Artist-in-Residence Orchestral series features Dr. Brad Ulrich, trumpet, on Telemann's Sonata de Concert, with Daniel Meyer, conducting. Also on the program are Rossini's Barber of Seville Overture, Holst's St. Paul's Suite, and Haydn's Symphony No. 100, known as the "Military" Symphony.
The School of Music's Artist-in-Residence program brings professional string musicians from the Asheville Symphony Orchestra to perform orchestral masterworks and chamber music with Western's woodwind, brass, and percussion students. The program also supports hiring strings for choral programs, small operas, chamber music with faculty--even a live radio show!
Although the vast majority of the 150+ programs the School of Music presents in a year are free to the public, we do charge admission for these orchestral concerts to help cover costs of rehearsal, rental of the hall, purchase of music, and other expenses. Thank you for your understanding and support!
Please plan on joining us for the rest of the series:
Tuesday 17 February: Tchaikovsky Fourth Symphony and Dr. Bill Martin singing favorite opera arias, conducted by Daniel Meyer.
Thursday 26 February: "Robin Hood," a live radio show, with music composed and conducted by Dr. Bruce Frazier.
Sunday 29 March: Music by Ralph Vaughan Williams for chorus and orchestra, conducted by Dr. Michael Lancaster. |

Soka Kartel's first performance was at the final cavalcade at the National stadium and each year makes that event and location the first official performance for the crop over festival.
So far in their first year (2010), the band was able to cop three titles. The Party Monarch, Soca Royale Champion and Road March. In that year, they made history also to have a competitor (Blood) place first and second, Then second and Third (Mikey) in the Party Monarch.
In 2011 The band won their second Party Monarch competition, making it two in a row,this time by Mikey. 2012 has now seen the first ever hat-trick by any group or individual win Mikey retaining the Party Monarch. Not only did he do that but went on to win 3 more titles. The Sweet Soca Monarch, People???s Monarch and Road March.
With a spectacular and energetic show with lots of visual new marketing concepts Soka Kartel is set to have a big bright future ahead. |

| Sep 30 Faculty Recital: La Clarinette de Paris |
| Faculty clarinetist Shannon Thompson and pianist Lillian Buss Pearson perform an evening of music entitled "La Clarinette de Paris." Dr. Thompson visited Paris in June, and all the music in this concert is connected with that city and its musicians. The program features the most famous piece written for the Paris Conservatory's annual clarinet performance exams, Claude Debussy's Presiere Rhapsodie, along with works by Phillippe Gaubert and Ernest Chausson. Leser known works include a 1880 Sonata by Theodore Gouby that was admired by both Brahms and Berlioz. Also on the program is a set of four rare sight reading pieces, as well as Bug for solo clarinet composed by the Paris Conservatory's current director Bruno Mantovani.
Shannon Thompson is Associate Professor of Music at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina, where she received the 2011 James E. Dooley Award for Excellence in Teaching Music. She has headed the clarinet studio at WCU since 1997. She is principal clarinetist of the Hendersonville Symphony Orchestra and bass clarinetist of the Asheville Symphony Orchestra. Dr. Thompson has performed throughout the United States as a recitalist and chamber musician, and she has presented and performed at several International Clarinetfest Conferences and National and Regional College Music Society Conferences. Her doctoral treatise on the most significant American influences on clarinet playing entitled "A History and Analysis of the Philadelphia School of Clarinet Playing" is widely acclaimed. Dr. Thompson is currently developing a documentary film project "Chasing the Sound" focused on a community of clarinetists and clarinet equipment makers who strive to recreate the legendary sounds of their predecessors.
Pianist Lillian Buss Pearson has appeared throughout the continental United States, England, Costa Rica and China as a soloist and collaborative artist.

| Sep 30 Faculty Recital: La Clarinette de Paris |
| Faculty clarinetist Shannon Thompson and pianist Lillian Buss Pearson perform an evening of music entitled "La Clarinette de Paris." Dr. Thompson visited Paris in June, and all the music in this concert is connected with that city and its musicians. The program features the most famous piece written for the Paris Conservatory's annual clarinet performance exams, Claude Debussy's Premiere Rhapsodie, along with works by Phillippe Gaubert and Ernest Chausson. Lesser known works include a 1880 Sonata by Theodore Gouvy that was admired by both Brahms and Berlioz. Also on the program is a set of four rare sight reading pieces, as well as Bug for solo clarinet composed by the Paris Conservatory's current director Bruno Mantovani.
Shannon Thompson is Associate Professor of Music at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, North Carolina, where she received the 2011 James E. Dooley Award for Excellence in Teaching Music. She has headed the clarinet studio at WCU since 1997. She is principal clarinetist of the Hendersonville Symphony Orchestra and bass clarinetist of the Asheville Symphony Orchestra. Dr. Thompson has performed throughout the United States as a recitalist and chamber musician, and she has presented and performed at several International Clarinetfest Conferences and National and Regional College Music Society Conferences. Her doctoral treatise on the most significant American influences on clarinet playing entitled "A History and Analysis of the Philadelphia School of Clarinet Playing" is widely acclaimed. Dr. Thompson is currently developing a documentary film project "Chasing the Sound" focused on a community of clarinetists and clarinet equipment makers who strive to recreate the legendary sounds of their predecessors.
