Bear Valley, CA…We know, Oktoberfest is usually in October. We couldn’t wait until then to bring you a musical kiss from Vienna. 800 years of emperors and castles, the former musical capital of the world gave us music that was composed and performed amongst gilded mirrors and audiences with corset satin dresses, whispering about the latest gossip of the emperor’s wife behind handheld fans: Schubert, Haydn, Nicolai, Mozart and Strauss. Musical geniuses. If you think about it: a constant stream of inner melodies, pouring out non-stop, with the only way of “getting rid” of them by writing them down. Gifts of musical beauty for the all us that reflect a society long gone. We’ll toast to that!

For this concert only, Season Ticketholders will have reserved seating at tables near the stage. All other ticketholders will have General seating (first-come, first-serve).
