Bear Valley, CA….This innovative evening connects the stunning outside scenery with the classical sounds inside the concert tent. Many composers were inspired by nature: Grieg, Vaughn Williams, Smetana and Josef Strauss created music with birds, mountains and rivers in mind. Tune your ear for Finnish composer Rautavaara’s actual bird sounds as soloists!

Vaughn Williams, A Lark Ascending

Rautavaara, Cantus Arcticus
