Composers' Corner
Listening-Room Experiences in Our Main Art Gallery
Not only do we proudly host a rotating array of impressive art exhibits, but our primary art space is also a listening room. Each month, on the third Sunday of the month, we now host local music performers. Our Composers' Corner performances are intimate late afternoon listening-room events devoted entirely to original music.
Composer’s Corner is a curated listening experience where new works are shared in a focused, artful setting. This is not background music. These are compositions meant to be heard, felt, and experienced.

August Composers’ Corner Artists - Sunday, August 16th 4:30-6:30pm.
Jack Gorham & Mare Carmody
Jack Gorham is a junkman-songwriter who lives in High Point, NC. His music is often inspired by his surroundings, rooted equally in real life experiences and imagined ones, but always distilled and performed by the heart.
Mare Carmody is a voice of Southern songwriting. A Virginia native, Mare has lived in Memphis TN, Little Rock AR, Asheville NC, and now here in the Piedmont area of NC.
Her songs are a folk and blues combination that reflect the places she has lived and the people she’s met.
What to Expect
Each program features composers and performers presenting thoughtfully-crafted pieces in an inspiring art gallery atmosphere. Chairs and café tables are arranged for comfortable listening, creating a relaxed yet attentive environment where the music can truly shine.
This recurring monthly series offers a rare opportunity to hear music at its beginning—where ideas are fresh, creative voices are bold, and audiences become part of the artistic journey.
This Event Includes:
• Free admission (however, tipping is encouraged)
• Advance seat reservation required, so we can ensure appropriate event staffing
• Limited seating to preserve the intimate listening experience
• Cash bar available (credit card only)
• Guests are welcome to bring their own food
• No outside beverages permitted
Whether you are a devoted classical listener, a curious creative, or someone who simply loves discovering something new before the rest of the world does, Composer’s Corner invites you into the listening circle.
Crafted notes. Captive hearts.
