MUSIC IN THE MOUNTAINS

with a special appearance by Susan Narucki

Thursday, August 9, 6:30pm Kennolyn
Tickets: $103

Panoramic views of the Monterey Bay, redwood covered hilltops, lush sprawling lawns, and a Spanish-style hacienda with flower-laden arbors and tiled terraces—all these embellish the resplendent site for the Festival’s beloved, annual benefit event. This season, Festival goers return to Kennolyn’s Hilltop Hacienda for another extravagant sensory feast beginning with the perfect pairing of wines and foods from Santa Cruz County’s finest restaurateurs and vintners. With wineglass in hand, and the sweet smell of summer in the air, guests may stroll the property and partake of the culinary riches. Fifteen luxury baskets are offered in a small auction and included in your mix of pleasures! And when your palate is sated and twilight begins to break, you’ll join Concertmaster Yumi Hwang Williams and members of the Festival Orchestra, along with 2007 Festival guest artist, soprano Susan Narucki, for an enchanting chamber music concert. A beautiful location and a perfected tradition promise to delight once again.

(Basket Auction bidding begins online in July!)
