The Hills Are Alive with the Sound of Music – Music in the Mountains celebrates its 24th Festival
Music in the Mountains celebrates its 24th season featuring orchestra, chamber and conservatory performances of classical and world music. A host of concerts and events are slated in venues set in the spectacular San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado and northwest New Mexico from July 10 through August 1, 2010.
Deemed as one of the longest running classical music festivals in the southwest, Artistic Director Gregory Hustis and Music Director and Conductor Guillermo Figueroa promise to take audiences on a musical adventure through the classics. World-class musicians travel from across the globe to join together and form the Festival Orchestra, and this season they will perform music from the classical masters to sounds of the traditional East Coast.
Among the Festival’s distinguished guest artists are virtuoso violinists Vadim Gluzman and Dmitri Berlinsky, Israeli pianist, Aviram Reichert, outstanding oboist, Erin Hannigan, legendary pops conductor Carl Topilow, and Cape Breton fiddler, Natalie MacMaster.
The three-week Festival runs from July 10 through August 1, 2010.
