BLACK MOUNTAIN, N.C. (828newsNOW) — White Horse Black Mountain, a local music nonprofit in Black Mountain, N.C., has announced that performances which fall on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be “Student Nights,” with admission free-of-charge for local college students with a school ID.

White Horse shows range from live music to dance, puppetry, theatre, films and more. The venue is located at 105 Montreat Road in the heart of downtown Black Mountain, just three miles away from Montreat College.

“Just bring your student ID with you for admission and catch some great tunes,” White Horse wrote in their announcement on Facebook.

This Wednesday, UNC Asheville students can see their very own Dr. William Bares, professor of music and co-director of jazz studies at the local university, perform an evening of jazz. The show will be held from 7-9 p.m. General admission tickets are a suggested donation of $15.
