The Arboretum hosts The Low Tech Ensemble for the third Twilight Tuesday event of the season on Tuesday, July 15, from 5 to 7 p.m. Light refreshments and several free activities are available throughout the evening, and the Arboretum's beautiful mountain setting, blooming gardens and natural trails are other great reasons to visit.
The Low Tech Ensemble from Western Carolina University will perform a concert of gamelan music in the lobby of the Baker Exhibit Center. A gamelan is an orchestra of tuned percussion instruments originating in Indonesia and coastal Southeast Asia. Visitors will also enjoy the Arboretum's newest exhibit, "Our Precious Land: Visions and Scenes of North Carolina," featuring oil paintings by internationally recognized artist Luke Allsbrook. A self-guided tour of the Arboretum's outdoor sculpture exhibit "Kaleidoscope" is another highlight of the evening. The Baker Exhibit Center and Connections Gallery will be open until 7 p.m. for the occasion. The Bonsai Exhibition Garden will be open until 7 p.m., and a bonsai docent will be available to answer questions. The next date for this popular event is August 19, when the Arboretum presents the Latin jazz group AHORA SI. Future dates for Twilight Tuesdays are September 30 and October 21. Different musical performers will be featured each date. North Carolina Arboretum events and activities are free unless noted; no parking fee on Tuesdays.
