Shakori Hills: A Place to Learn
There is so much great music here in the Triangle, bands new and old abound, labels spring up, clubs are full almost every night of the week. The area is also rich with learning opportunities, colleges and universities, museums, arts and science centers. At Shakori Hills though, these two great aspects of our larger community are blended so that an attendee could learn without even knowing it, renew her mind with fresh ideas, maybe even take a class from her favorite band!
