Now in his sixth summer as music director, internationally recognized conductor Michael Morgan has put Bear Valley and the Highway 4 corridor on the map as a summer destination as well, drawing an audience of thousands.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights of this year&#8217;s festival include tributes to Tom Petty and The Eagles, a concert by the real and authentic rock band Pablo Cruise, a reunion performance of Rachmaninoff&#8217;s Second Piano Concerto by legendary pianist Olga Kern and the festival&#8217;s retired conductor Carter Niece, the world-premiere of a new commission by composer David Conte, and a performance by world-famous jazz violinist Mads Tolling. Following the popularity of their Bear Valley debut concert last year, the Thalea String Quartet returns as the festivals ensemble-in-residence. The classical lineup includes Beethoven\u2019s glorious Ninth Symphony in partnership with the Mother Lode Chorale, and Schumann&#8217;s Symphony No. 4. Other renowned artists are cellist Emil Miland, violinist Dawn Harms and Italian guitarist Peppino d&#8217;Agostino. There&#8217;s even a sampling of Broadway and opera this year with soprano Shawnette Sulker, mezzo-soprano Betany Coffland, tenor Jack Wilkins, and baritone Eugene Brancoveanu.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the most significant cultural event of the year in our scenic part of the Sierra,&#8221; says executive director Eman Isadiar. &#8220;We always strive to present the widest possible variety of artists and musical styles to appeal to every taste and every generation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tickets and information are available online at www.bearvalleymusic.org or by calling 209-813-0554.
