Join guest conductor Tamara Dworetz and the Wintergreen Festival Orchestra for an evening of lyricism, energy, and classical brilliance. Our very own Elisabeth Adkins will shine in Ralph Vaughan Williams’ transcendent The Lark Ascending, followed by Aaron Copland’s playful Music for the Theatre. The concert concludes with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 1, showcasing charm, wit, and youthful spirit. These three composers are favorites of the Wintergreen Music community—come find out why! Whether it’s your first MountainTop Masterworks experience or your fiftieth, this concert promises an unforgettable celebration of sound, color, and musical adventure.
