This year, in its 8th Season, the Valley of the Moon Music Festival presents chamber and vocal music inspired by nature and the elements. Celebrating Beethoven’s love of Mozart and Nature, this program opens with his Variations for cello and piano on a theme from the “The Magic Flute” followed by a chamber version of Mozart’s Piano Concerto in D minor. 2021 Apprentice Suren Barry returns as the Festival Laureate to perform the solo part of this stormy work. Beethoven steals the show at the end with his rarely heard masterpiece, “The Storm Quintet” for strings. Listen for the thunder and birds in the final movement!
