Summerfest Concert 3: Harvest

Our final concert, Harvest, brings a festive celebration of the ripening of transformation in nature, in ourselves, our times and in the arts. Adding to the grand premiere of a new work taking inspiration from a newly published book, this year’s Summerfest closes with the glorious string octet by the 16-year-old Mendelssohn who had already written more than 100 works. All the music on this program radiates pure joy for harvest’s abundance, invisibly containing its complexity at creation. 

We rejoice in the destination of metamorphosis, but it is in the journey that we are transformed.
