Thursday marks the official release of the Asheville Symphony's new recording. But it isn't of Beethoven or Brahms, it's The Asheville Symphony Sessions, a collaboration with leading musicians of Asheville's music scene, recorded at Echo Mountain Studios. David Whitehill, executive director of the ASO, talks with Dick Kowal about the genesis of the project, and the future.
