Chamber music performance featuring Concertmaster Yumi Hwang-Williams, special guest composer/guitarist Matthew Cmiel, and members of the Festival Orchestra.

New music in a new location. This season Festival-goers will celebrate the beloved Music in the Mountains benefit event in a setting unlike any other. Nestled in the redwoods on acres of lushly landscaped property, Nestldown is an exquisite private retreat located in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Perfect pairings of food and wine by premier restaurateurs and vintners will take place on verdant lawns amidst lush gardens beside the koi pond. Guests are invited to explore the picturesque setting, replete with gorgeous views, waterfalls, a redwood Chapel, foxglove meadow, and a Fantasy Garden and Cottage. There’s a stunning surprise around every corner, including an antique train surrounding the fruit tree orchards that will offer rides to our guests! Twelve luxury auction baskets featuring unique experiential packages will be included in the mix of pleasures. This is a five-star, enchanted experience that culminates with a chamber music concert in a cathedral-ceiling wood structure that adjoins the garden. Concertmaster Yumi Hwang Williams, special guest composer/guitarist Matthew Cmiel, and members of the Festival orchestra will regale guests with chamber works by our season’s featured composers. (Tickets for this special benefit event are $125/pp. Attendance is limited and Full Subscribers will be given priority on a date-received basis.)
