Bagpipes. Irish dancers. A chance to buy dinner with the bishop. This fundraiser had it all.
Perhaps that’s why 500 people - a record for this event - showed up at the Knoxville Convention Center Thursday for “An Emerald O’ccasion,” a fundraiser for Catholic Charities now in its 25th year.
Ever since we’ve been going to this [...]

There are all kinds of fancy fundraisers for the Knoxville Symphony: the elegant Crystal Ball, dinners and lunches in fine homes, and special private performances by visiting guest artists.
But my favorite one of all is a simple pot luck supper held in a church meeting hall early on a Sunday night. Florescent lights, paper napkins and [...]

If your child shows musical promise, you might at first think it would be less expensive to start him or her out on a violin rather than a piano because pianos are so expensive.

We thought we’d run to Nashville for a few days over Thanksgiving. But it was almost as if we had never left home.
We went to see some live music at The Rutledge, which Nashville’s Rage Magazine describes as “one of the most eye and ear pleasing venues in the entire Southeast.” Guess who was playing: Christabel [...]
