Music at Odyssey
River Guerguerian is Odyssey’s Music Director, overseeing classes for PreK-12th grade students and teaching small group classes weekly. River gave a presentation titled On Listening in July, 2015. In it, River explores what it means to listen — physically, emotionally, spiritually and how sound enriches our lives or distract us from it. Watch here!
Odyssey hosts Asheville Rhythm, which creates the annual Asheville Percussion Festival and offers weekly percussion classes for the community – adults as well as kids – with River on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Odyssey also has in residence Free Planet Radio, which is “the shared vision of three multi-instrumentalists exploring the infinite and seamless relationships between musical cultures through the universal language of sound.”
