This year the annual Music in the Mountains SummerFest returns to the Nevada County fairgrounds. It features the six concerts shown below assembled by MIM Artistic Director Peter Nowlen and Executive Director Mieko Hatano. Except for the 25jun17 chamber music concert at St Joseph’s, the remainder will be performed out of doors. Four of them on the Great Lawn of our beautiful fairgrounds. Bring your lawn chairs and picnic stuff, come early, and enjoy good food and friends followed by beautiful music under the stars.
The variety of offerings should have something for everyone. I am especially looking forward to ‘The Songs of Leonard Cohen’ produced by our very own Paul Emery. Also keeping us enthralled will be the Russian Spectacular featuring virtuoso Natsuki Fukasawa (whom RR readers met here) on the piano in ‘Rocky’s Big #2’. The series ends with our traditional 3rd of July Patriotic Pops concert featuring the music we all traditionally enjoy on our Independence Day that will start off with the now obligatory warbird formation flyover.
