In-Home Concert Special I: Written for Friends – Music from Bebop to Bohemian Brilliance

In the Valley Home of John & Linda Harrington

This intimate evening features playful rhythms, lush textures, and impressive virtuosity. The concert opens with Benedikt Brydern’s witty Bebop for Beagles, a lively romp that will certainly make tails wag. Jenni Brandon’s The Sequoia Trio follows, a musical interpretation of excerpts from John Miur’s The Yosemite depicting towering trees, delicate saplings, and the graceful elegance of nature itself. The program concludes with Antonín Dvořák’s Terzetto in C Major, a vibrant and intimate work showcasing our talented Festival Artists. Space is limited.
