Experience a morning of musical serenity amidst the canyons. The concert begins with a Bach Viola da Gamba sonata (arranged for violin, cello, and bass), followed by a parade of duets: two violins, violin and bass, violin and cello, and bass and cello. This set of classic and modern works defy expectations, showcasing the surprising range and depth possible with just two stringed instruments.

About the venue: A guided scenic hike leads adventuresome concert-goers to a secluded canyon to enjoy music chosen to fit the setting. Among our most popular events, these scenic hikes offer unparalleled musical intimacy and engagement with the artists.
