The Swannanoa Gathering
Founded in 1991 by Warren Wilson College President Douglas M. Orr, Jr., The Swannanoa Gathering is a series of week-long workshops in various folk arts held in July and August on the campus of Warren Wilson College. With a limited enrollment and an 'open' format which allows each student to select their own curriculum from a variety of courses, they offer an intimate, supportive community experience for students of all abilities, featuring a staff of some of the finest performers and teachers in the world.

The Swannanoa Chamber Music Festival
The Swannanoa Chamber Festival Players are a group of outstanding professional musicians from Florida, New York, California, Michigan and Ohio who perform together each year at the Festival. The wind-players and pianist have been playing together at the festival for at least a decade. By working together for so many years, they have developed a mutual understanding of each other's sensibilities, resulting in performances of enormous energy and style. This "chemistry" is one of the reasons the performances are, consistently, at such a high level.

The Swannanoa School of Culinary Arts
The Swannanoa School of Culinary Arts offers week-long hands-on immersion in a variety of culinary experiences designed to awaken and broaden the palate, lead you closer to the source of the food you prepare, and provide you with a panoply of skills that will help you celebrate the ordinary in extraordinary fashion.
The mission of the Swannanoa School of Culinary Arts is to inspire a new (and revised old) generation of home chefs to gather food consciously, treat it with skill and respect, and share it with passion, furthering the notion that the most important moments we spend are those partaken with friends and family around the table.
