Frequently touted as “one of the world’s premier banjo players,” Béla Fleck has reinvented the image and sound of the banjo through remarkable performing and recordings that have taken him all over the musical map. The 15-time GRAMMY Award winner, nominated in more categories than any other instrumentalist in GRAMMY history, is a powerfully creative force globally in bluegrass, jazz, classical pop, rock, and world beat.
“Béla Fleck will strike a unique and wondrous chord with a wide range of music lovers as we bring the 2019 BMC Summer Festival to a captivating close,” said Brevard Music Center President & CEO Mark Weinstein. “We are always delighted to welcome Béla and his acclaimed Blue Ridge Banjo Camp back to Brevard and thrilled to celebrate the culmination of another popular BMC Presents series with this inspiring bluegrass legend. Don’t miss your chance to see this concert—a sell-out performance in 2018!”
