River Garden Symphony at Dunsmuir Botanical Gardens, 2018
River Garden Symphony
featuring Pacific Crest Music Festival Strings Orchestra
Music by the Mountain’s programs for our local community are funded in large part by our loyal patrons and donors. In appreciation and as an opportunity to help fund future endeavors, Music by the Mountain is once again hosting a River Garden Symphony at Dunsmuir Botanical Gardens this summer on Sunday, August 8. Our concert this year features the Pacific Crest Music Festival youth orchestra, performing under the baton of Martin Majkut, highly revered Rogue Valley Symphony conductor.
The student artists, ages 14 and up, are selected by audition to participate in the festival. During their stay they learn the art of chamber music, receive private lessons, perform in concert alongside world-class professional faculty, and participate in musical outreach events for the local community, including the Music By the Mountain 2021 Gala. We are pleased to have a wonderful relationship with the PCMF and to be able to collaborate in this way for our gala.
Gates for the gala will open at 4:00 p.m. in the Dunsmuir Botanical Gardens by the Sacramento River. Participants will be invited to wander through the silent auction and visit with friends while enjoying a glass of wine and substantial tapas-like hors d'oeuvres. The concert will open with a brief performance by this year's Carol Medrano Memorial Scholarship winner, followed by the PCMF youth orchestra at 6pm. Seating and tables will be available for guests, courtesy of Dunsmuir Rotary Club.
Tickets for the 4pm gala with wine & hors d’oeuvres are sold out.
Tickets for the 6pm concert may be purchased at the gate on the day of the event!
