 As the award-winning host of Fresh Air, NPR's weekday magazine of contemporary arts and issues, Terry Gross interviews the most celebrated personalities of our time. Her thoughtful exchanges with artists, writers, actors, and musicians are heard by more than 4.5 million fans on nearly 500 public radio stations. Her guests have included Philip Roth, James Brown, John Travolta, Sonny Rollins, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, and countless others. Gross is known for her thoughtful, probing interview style. In her trusted company, even the most reticent guest relaxes and reflects on his or her life and work.

In her speaking engagements, Gross plays sound bites from interviews that went especially well and especially badly to illustrate her discussion of interviewing techniques. She then does something else that she never does on her radio program. She talks about her own life and career, giving the audience a chance to interview her.

MEET AND GREET RECEPTION

The Meet and Greet Reception for Terry Gross will be held at 6 pm before the lecture. Please note that admission to the 7:30 pm lecture requires a separate ticket, which can be purchased at the Weinberg Box Office or online at weinbergcenter.org.

Tickets for the Meet and Greet Reception cost $75, and only 100 tickets will be sold. To purchase, contact the Weinberg Box Office at 301-600-2835.

The Martin Family Band

The Martin Family Band presents Old Time Appalachian, Irish, and colonial music. With family roots in Southwestern Virginia, their style reflects years of study as well as a genuine feel for the music arising from the presence of music in the home.

Charlie Hope Music

Charlie Hope brings her musical fun to the library! This 2012 Juno Award winner (Children's Album of the Year) will wow you with songs and soothe you with her singing. This is a performer that grownups and kids will both enjoy.

Alexander Mitchell and Zan McLeod

Sunday, July 28, 2 pm

Alexander Mitchell and Zan McLeod are renowned musicians individually; as a pair they're twice as amazing. Mitchell plays fiddle, mandolin, and guitar and has been cultivating diverse musical styles since 1978. McLeod was introduced to Appalachian music on the banjo and mandolin by his grandfather and has played in numerous bands throughout the years. Together, these talented fellows are sure to get you moving.

Mountain Ride

Sunday, August 25, 2 pm

Mountain Ride is Eric and Kate Avey, plus whoever else they decide to bring along for the ride. This group delivers fast-picking, hard-driving bluegrass tunes, along with a few heart-melting, old-time classic bluegrass ballads. Mountain Ride's harmonies and music will have you tappin' and clappin' for certain.

In school I've studied... how to design everything from crutches to tablets to house wares! I have my BFA in Industrial Design from Savannah College of Art and Design.

I love to read... fantasy and twisted fairytales. Lately, I've enjoyed The Lost Gate by Orson Scott Card; Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow by Jessica Day George; and The Dark Lord of Derkholm by Diana Wynne Jones.

I am passionate about... natural foods and gardening. There isn't much that can compare with working outside with your hands and having your work pay off as healthy, delicious food!

I'd like to learn more about... interaction and user experience design (IxD and UX) so that I can design amazing websites and services that are user-friendly and fun to use.

I'd love to travel to... Switzerland. I really want to spend time exploring the Alps. I love being in nature, it is so refreshing and calming.

My favorite music is... Folk. I especially enjoy Mumford & Sons, The Head and the Heart, Ferraby Lionheart, Vandaveer, and Zee Avi. Whether it is rollicking or mellow, I love that authentic sound. I just wish I was able to go to more concerts!

I'm inspired by... companies like Project H Design and TYTHEdesign that use design to help those who need it most: low income communities, people with disabilities, third world countries, etc.

My biggest challenge is... deciding what to do next! I am a planner and a dreamer with so many different interests that I have a very difficult time picking one thing and sticking with it. I want to do it all!

I'm grateful for... all the opportunities to learn and grow that the library provides. I am constantly learning new things and becoming better at my job because of all the trainings that FCPL allows us to do.
