Let your imagination take flight with the exotic colors of Stravinsky’s Nightingale, exquisite birdsong from Vivaldi and Rautavaara, and the graceful melodies of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake.

Nature’s Finest Musicians
For thousands of years, birds have fascinated and humbled us with their beauty and virtuosity, inspiring composers and performers with their effortless musicality.
History’s Most Imaginative Composers
Four composers from four centuries— each uniquely talented and visionary in his evocation of the natural world.
New Sounds
From Vivaldi— perhaps best-known for the vibrant soundscape experiments of The Four Seasons— to the Finnish melodies of Rautavaara, these composers share an eagerness to push musical boundaries in their quest to bring the beauty of nature to concert audiences.
What a great evening. I didn’t want the music to stop. What a thrill to be part of it... My personal thanks to you for your marvelous insight into the music and the composers. Thanks so much for enriching my life each month.
