The Foothills Music Club, an affiliate of the Tryon Fine Arts Center, was formed in 1988 for the purpose of encouraging members to maintain their musical proficiency, whether instrumental or vocal, through performances.&bsp; The club members have performed many times before at the Isothermal Community College, as well as in the Tryon Fine Arts Center, at Tryon Estates, and in several churches.

Each year, the FMC also awards scholarships to deserving young musicians in the area.&bsp; Auditions for this are held each year in March or April. For further information on this concert, which is open to the public, call Fran Creasy at 828-859-0208.
