Western Piedmont Symphony hosts Community Conversation: Welcoming the Stranger 4-13-2023

Every faith around the world has a message about welcoming the strangers in our midst, in partnership with Catawba Valley Interfaith Council. This evening will shed a new light on the stories of the immigrants and refugees in our community by lifting up their stories to the world and encouraging respectful discourse in a Q & A. Bookended by solo cello performances by Sam Magill, Western Piedmont Symphony Acting Principal Cello, the evening’s speakers include immigrants from around the world who came to the Hickory area, their backgrounds, and what brought them to the Catawba Valley. Maestro Matthew Troy will moderate the panel and introduce our guests.
