Symphony of the Redwoods (
https://www.symphonyoftheredwoods.org/) is proud to present two world-class acts at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens this summer. The concerts are free to attend with regular Gardens admission, and just plain free for MCBG Members. On Sunday, June 29th at 12 noon, virtuoso flatpicking guitarist Dan Crary will perform and at 3 PM, internationally recognized Kitka Women’s Vocal ensemble will take the stage. Each concert takes place at the MCBG Event Lawn, where there is ample space for all. Wine, tea, coffee, and cookies will be for sale, benefiting Symphony of the Redwoods and Art Explorers. The concerts will be professionally mic'd to enhance the outdoor music listening experience. There will be a limited number of chairs available on a first-come, first-served basis, and plenty of opportunities to spread out on the grass while listening to this great music.
Dan Crary at 12PM
Crary is a musical legend and a pioneer of one of the most intricate, yet powerful, forms of American music, and a master of the guitar: a flatpicking stylist with an international reputation for innovation, taste, and brilliance. As he passes his 40th anniversary as a performer, Crary is one of the few artists whose work can be said to transcend boundaries of style and genre. It’s a journey to enjoy and remember.
Kitka at 2:30PM
Inspired by the exquisite and unusual harmony traditions of Eastern Europe and Eurasia, Kitka, has earned international recognition for their ravishing sound and unique repertoire. Kitka has collaborated with some of the world’s most exciting indigenous musicians and contemporary composers, ranging from Le Mystères des Voix Bulgares to Meredith Monk. This trailblazing ensemble’s wide-ranging performance, teaching, and recording activities have exposed millions to the haunting beauty of their unique repertoire.
