The events of its first season, the 1946 Festival, were in this tradition, and were so successful that the programs have been enlarged to a season of two weeks. The Brevard Music Festival Association is a non-profit civic cor poration operated by elected officers. It provides a most unusual oppor tunity for cooperation and friendship between the group of artist musicians who present the programs and a still larger group of music lovers who hear them. The association is most appreciative of the in terest and help of its many friends in Brevard and the surrounding terri tory. Built upon such a foundation, the future of the Festival is assured. Its directors see it not only as a source of enduring vacation pleasure for all musk lovers who can journey to Brevard, but also as a force in the development of the musical taste, appreciation, and creative activity of those who live in Western North Carolina and throughout the country. The Brevard Music Fesival Association welcomes you to the Fourth Annual Brevard Music Festival and invites you to enjoy the beauty of the mountains, the hospitality of Brevard, and the inspiration of the pro grams planned for the 1949 season.
