Now in his seventh 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 Carole King &#038; James Taylor, Neil Diamond, Dolly Parton and Billy Joel, a concert by the legendary Mimi Fox and the Mimi Fox Jazz Trio, the return of world-famous pianist Olga Kern this time with her son Vladik Kern in Mozart&#8217;s Double Piano Concerto, the world-premiere of a new commission by composer Michael Taylor, and three concert pieces for violin and orchestra featuring soloist Kelly Hall-Tompkins. The classical lineup includes Beethoven\u2019s Fourth Symphony and Fourth Piano Concerto with soloist Llewellyn Sanchez-Werner. The Motherlode Chorale (featured last summer in Beethoven\u2019s Ninth) will return, this time with a concert version of a hilarious Broadway musical by George and Ira Gershwin titled &#8220;Of Thee I Sing&#8221; about a US presidential candidate running on a creative and unusual platform. Michael Morgan will also conduct a special concert dedicated to symphonic movie themes, including Star Wars, E.T., Harry Potter, The Godfather and more.<\/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.
